Electoral Reforms ahead of Nigeria's 2023 General Elections

To reap the gains of the recent peaceful youth protests in Nigeria, we need to clamour for the "Electoral Reform Bill" to be passed into law and assented to by the President. The Bill clamour for the recognition of electronic transmission of results and other needed reforms.
