PARTICIPANTS’ TESTIMONIALS

Our virtual training on Democracy and the Electoral Processes in Nigeria achieved its objectives of improving young people’s understanding of the electoral process, and helping them situate themselves as important stakeholders in delivering electoral integrity and credible elections. This is evident in the testimonials from the participants, as shown below.

Before now, I know little about Democracy, how it works, it’s principles, values, etc. The lecture really changed my orientation and now I can say I Know much about “Democracy” and all it entails. Another thing that really that really caught my attention is the EMB. I learnt about its power, functions, the structure, etc. The lecture changed my opinion about INEC for instance, knowing how much work must be done by this electoral body to ensure free and fair election.

Looking back, I must say that my expectations have not just been met satisfactorily, this training has also opened my eyes to the underlying factors that shapes the activities of electoral management bodies and the importance of incorporating democracy in our socio-political culture. I have been educated, enlightened and informed by this virtual training. Finally, IRIAD has furnished me with the requisite knowledge and skills to have a positive impact in the society, especially if I find myself in leadership positions in the future.

This program was really an impact to me. It really thought me soo many things about youth involvement in election such as; As young Nigerian and active citizen, don't restrict yourself to INEC election job alone, make ourselves available for the different roles too. E g. Electoral advocate on social media, observer, party agent, etc.
