  • Having been following his past projects, and been part of his just concluded Wikidata Justice Nigeria project, one can see User:Udehb 's resolve and drive for excellent delivery of Wikidata projects. Witnessing his old contributors retainment and new contributors recruitment skills towards the growth of the Wiki movement is a reason to support a project that creates such opportunities.
