As part of her core mandates in ensuring good governance in Nigeria, foremost civil society organisation, Human and Environmental Development Agenda (HEDA Resource Centre), has sensitized relevant stakeholders and offered agenda-setting recommendations ahead of the forthcoming general elections.
The civil society group’s 27th Anti-Corruption Situation Room (ACSR) themed: “Towards Nigeria’s 2023 General Elections” held in Abuja sought to re-evaluate the situation and discuss those issues capable of affecting the sanctity of the forthcoming general elections.
Speaking during his lead presentation on the Electoral Act 2022 assessment at the event, the former INEC Akwa Ibom Resident Electoral Commissioner, Barrister Mike Igini maintained that power has been returned to the Nigerian electorate following the introduction of electronic technology – Biometric Voter Accreditation System (BVAS), making manipulation of election result almost impossible.
