Hi Olatunde, It's exciting to hear you're hoping to plan WikiIndaba 2017 in Nigeria!
Please note that while the last date to submit a Project & Event Grant under the current grant structure is May 30, 2015, beginning July 1, 2015 we will be launching a new Conference Support program to specifically provide more support for conference organizers. I would recommend you wait to apply until that program launches. You can read more about the new grant structure here: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IdeaLab/Reimagining_WMF_grants/Outcomes#Grants_structure If you have any questions in the meantime, please don't hesitate to let us know.
