 The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, has commended the use for coming out en masse for the just concluded false phase of a continuous voter registration exercise. Messi, a book, will tell us more in this report. The first phase of a continuous voter registration exercise across the country, conducted by the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, ended on the 20th of September 2021. The National Commission and Chairman of Information and Voter Education Committee, Festa Zokoe, says the exercise witness a huge turn out of young Nigerians, disclosing that some states have completed the process. As of 20th September 2021, we have a total of 2,992,902 youth who have registered online. So in terms of completed registration in Anambra, we have a total of 138,795 completed registrations in Anambra states. But if you look at the figure from the different areas, for instance, Sokoto State has a total of 35,202 completed registrations. Quaran State has a total of 30,703 completed registrations. Lego State has a total of 25,582 completed registrations. Poshu State has a total of 63,259 completed registrations. Cross River has a total of 18,938 completed registrations, while the river has a total of 3,290. So this is the way segregated this registration exercise on the basis of geopolitical zones. Ahead of the 2023 elections, the Commission says it's targeting at least 20 million new voters to the existing one. But how effective is the registration portal and what is the level of awareness created by INEC? If the security situation improves and we are able to deploy to the worst of the registration areas, then the implication is that there is a possibility that we may register over 10 million voters during the second phase. Now what is the awareness level of Nigerians as regards the registration portal? For Nigeria, the literacy level is very low, so I doubt people are really going there to register. I am aware of the registration, I have not registered, but I have some friends that have registered and it was okay. Despite the sensitization created by the Independent National Electro-Commission, INEC, a lot of people still say they are not aware, while orders are not interested. Messi eboko for Plus TV Africa.
