Group To Partner INEC On Voter Sensitisation

Ahead of the 2019 general elections, a group known as the National Intervention Movement (NIM), a non-partisan body has concluded plans to partner the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to sensitise the public and active citizens in the country.
This was made known when a member of the National Working Committee and Secretary of South West Zone, NIM,’ Anthony Kila and Lagos State Secretary of the group, Babatunde Gbadamosi spoke with journalists in Lagos.
According to Kila, the group will embark on a nationwide operation of helping voters to register through a helpdesk aimed at informing people, providing information and guidance to voters.
According to him, “We are a group that came together to identify, support and promote programmes and policies that will lead to good governance in Nigeria.
” We understand that to do that we need to get citizens that are empowered, who are engaged to make good governance happen. In line with this, part of what we are doing is to help create awareness for voter’s registration”.
“There are a lot of people who can vote and should be voting but are not voting partly because they do not believe in the system.
“So part of what NIM is doing as our commitment is to help eliminate the problem they have in registering by providing information which will make it possible for voters to believe in the system”, he said.
