I am a passionate Electrical Engineer and Wikimedia contributor dedicated to sharing knowledge and promoting free access to information. I obtained my Higher National Diploma (HND) in Electrical Engineering from Hassan Usman Katsina Polytechnic in 2024.
Beyond engineering, I actively contribute to Wikimedia projects by creating and improving articles, mentoring new editors, and supporting community growth. I am particularly interested in knowledge equity, African content development, and capacity building within the Wikimedia ecosystem.
