WikiGap Nigeria 2026 is our annual initiative to celebrate and document the achievements of Nigerian women.
To mark International Women’s Day 2026, Wikimedia User Group Nigeria will roll out three key programmes to bridge the gender gap on Wikipedia and amplify Nigerian women’s stories:
🔹 March 1–31: Nationwide online campaign to create and improve articles about notable Nigerian women in English, Hausa, Yoruba, and Igbo.
🔹 April 8 | Abuja: One-day capacity-building training for new female editors, followed by structured mentorship.
🔹 April 9: High-level symposium, “Give to Gain,” hosted at the Residence of the Swedish Embassy in Nigeria, featuring inspiring women leaders.
In partnership with the Swedish Embassy in Nigeria, Women FM 91.7, NAWOJ, Girls Voices Initiative, and Africa Wiki Women.
Let’s give to gain.
Let’s document her story.
Let’s close the gap. 💜

Here's how I got to present my string art to our mummy @NOIweala the DG of World trade Organization at my prestigious Universities 45th convocation ceremony lecture.
Mama said and I quote, "Please tell your own story and let it be a story of success" this is me telling mine❤️
May this festive season bring you joy, good health, and renewed inspiration to share knowledge.
Thank you for your dedication to documenting our stories, culture, and heritage.
Wishing you a peaceful celebration and a more impactful year ahead!

People from Ondo and Ekiti tend to hide their true identity behind the British-made Ile-Ife. In fact, 87% of the population in present-day Ondo and Ekiti are not Yoruba; they are entirely Edo. Most of their kings did not come from Ile-Ife but were ruled by princes from Benin.
Even a sentence added in your local language can save it from extinction.
