The Centre for Information Technology and Development (CITAD) has unveiled a new voter education training manual for public scrutiny ahead of 2019 general elections.
Speaking to journalists, the Acting Executive Director of the centre, Ahmad Abdullahi Yakasai, said the programme, supported by Action Aid International, was organized to let participants make their inputs, suggestions or corrections to improve the content of the manual before its final production.
Yakasai added that, “During previous elections, similar events were conducted with regards to voter education and some observations were made. We believe this time around all necessary corrections will be included and properly utilized so that we can achieve maximum objective for proper electoral processes in 2019”.
He expressed hope that the sensitisation and voter education would be effective so as to record free, fair and credible polls in the next year general elections.
A participant, who represented the state director of National Orientation Agency (NOA), Malama Suwaiba Adamu Salihu, said the participants were invited based on their past experiences in attending previous similar events so as to make their inputs to enrich the quality of the voter education training manual.
Participants were drawn from six (6) local government areas of the state and each local government was represented by three communities.
