Wikitician/Wikidata of Streets in Nigeria Named After a Woman
A query for the list of Nigeria street named after a person returns 2 results on Wikidata. Neither of these is named after a woman. There is low coverage of this on Wikidata and this project is aimed at increasing the number of streets named after a person with more emphasis on streets named after a woman. I will be organising a series of edit-a-thon/trainings to increase this number.
