Dear Wikimedians,
We are delighted to announce the maiden edition of WikiConference Nigeria, the national conference of all Nigerian Wikimedians. WikiConference Nigeria, organized by a group of Wikimedia affiliates in Nigeria, will be held in Nigeria's capital Abuja from 12th to 15th September, 2024. The primary aim of the conference is to promote the growth and sustainability of Wikimedia projects in Nigeria, strengthen the relationship between various Wikimedia communities across the country, foster collaboration and engender cross-affiliate projects. The conference will also serve as a platform for capacity building, knowledge sharing and give room for aligning strategic discussions of Wikimedians in Nigeria to the Movement Strategy 2030. We invite all Wikimedians and individuals interested in open knowledge to join us for this maiden edition of the conference. *Programs* Do you want to present your work or project or run a workshop? The organizing team will seek for proposals for presentations, capacity building workshops as well as panel discussions. The conference will offer a wide range of session styles and flexible time slots. We will announce the details for Program submissions soon. *Travel scholarship* To support participation, scholarships for domestic travel are available. We will share the details for the scholarship application process soon. *Volunteers for Conference Committees* The conference organizing committee is looking for interested volunteers to join the various committees of the conference including Scholarship, Logistics, Communications, Program, and Partnership. The application is open at https://bit.ly/wikinigeria-call-for-volunteers. The deadline for committee volunteers applications is 28th May, 2024. We look forward to welcoming you in Abuja!. Kind regards, Ammar Abdulhamid, On behalf of the Conference Organizing Team
