ENIOLA AKINKUOTU with agency reports

The committee set up by the Independent National Electoral Commission to investigate the allegations of underage voting that trailed the local government elections conducted by the Kano State Independent Electoral Commission has submitted its report.

The committee, according to a statement by INEC Director of Publicity and Voter Education, Mr Oluwole Osaze-Uzzi, in Abuja, submitted the report to the Chairman, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, on Friday.

The statement, according to the News Agency of Nigeria, quoted the Chairman of the committee, Mr. Ahmed Nahuche, as saying diligent and wide consultations with stakeholders were made by the committee.

The committee was inaugurated by INEC in February to investigate the allegation of underage voting which was allegedly linked to the voter register in Kano.

Nahuche said in carrying out the assignment, the committee consulted with critical stakeholders through visitations and interactive sessions.

“The interactive sessions included civil society organisations, political parties, print and electronic media organisations as well as security agencies.


He stated, “The committee, in the course of consultation and interactive sessions, received a number of pictures, video clips, reports, documents and presentations from the stakeholders. The pictures and video clips were thoroughly analysed by the committee.’’

The INEC chairman, explained that the commission was committed to ensuring that the voter register was purged of ineligible persons.

“The credibility of the voter register is very important to the commission; (and) that the outcome of the investigation, in the interest of transparency, would be shared with the general public.”

Meanwhile, Yakubu has called on Nigerians to help the commission to expose illegal voters who are on the register.

Yakubu said this during a courtesy visit to the Nigerian Television Authority.

The INEC boss said the commission would, between March 26 and March 30, display the list of citizens captured in the nationwide Continuous Voter Registration during the first quarter of 2018.

The exercise, which is a requirement of the law, is intended to afford citizens, who registered between January 8 and March 23 this year, the opportunity to check their biodata for errors and make corrections.

Abagworo:


That's the fact and whoever feels he can defeat him should go to the polls.

You know you are lying.

But continue.

Akere, a riverine community located in the interiors of Idiroko LCDA, Ipokia Local government Ogun state boasts of a population of 3000 inhabitants. The community which shares boundaries with Badagry in Lagos State and Benin Republic, is home to the Ipokia Local Government Primary School, Akere. The primary school provides elementary education to children in the community as well as other neigbouring villages namely Wheke, Ilasa, Ajaluto, Gbodota and Zebe, despite it decrepit state.

When Tracka, a community of active citizens tracking the implementation of government project visited the school on 20th September, 2017, the learning condition was found to be totally horrendous. About half of the school’s population were seen learning outside the classrooms under the scorching sun without any protection over their heads, save a Mango tree which about three out of six classes were made to seek shelter under.

Ogun School

The failure of government to deliver on its expected duties over the school has resulted into most of the children in the community going as far as Apapa and Badagry in Lagos State which is about 30 minutes ferry across the ocean. The only private school in the community built by the Redeemed Christian Church of God is beyond the reach of many parents in the community.
During a recent visit, Tracka observed that the sad condition of the school has been further aggravated by the removal of the roof of one of the tattered classrooms by the State Universal Basic Education Board.


It was also observed that six to seven pupils sit on a bench meant for two pupils while others resort to sitting on the bare floor. There is also deficiency in staff strength as only four class teachers cater for six classes with one Assistant Head teacher and one Head teacher. Also, the classroom floors are bare and sandy, predisposing pupils to health hazards.

It was also learnt that he headmaster from his meager earnings single handedly concretized the floor of the class for the primary one pupils due to his awareness of their high susceptibility to feeble pathogens. The Head teacher’s office was seen under the mango tree, the school has no store and, in the process, most of the government owned books given to the school have been stolen. Again, the state’s intervention project by SUBEB which was donated in 2012 has remained uncompleted, the last furniture given to the school by this body was in 2007.

The Tracka team sensitized the school and community on the proposed project for the school which is the ‘Renovation of Blocks of 8 Classrooms in Akere, Agosasa, Ajegunle and Idogo’ for N30M. This could in turn be interpreted as renovation of a block of two classrooms for a sum of Seven million and five hundred thousand naira at each of the four schools. The disclosure of this information impulsively raised the people’s hope, but Tracka maintained that they must inform their representative of the awareness of the project and demand implementation and they did.

However, feedback from the community leader, Chief Gandonu Joseph has not been positive as he stated that Hon. Akinlade Adekunle Abdulkabir, the law maker representing the area in the National House of Assembly, Abuja neither pick calls nor respond to messages–a development which started since the community became aware of the project.

The situation in Akere is not in tandem with what is obtainable in other part of the state as projects that have not yet been completed are either ongoing or close to completion in most cases. It is also expected that the state government ought to have prioritized the renovation of some of the ebbing schools, rather than embarking on new school projects in the state.
Tracka and the community are highly expectant that the community’s awareness about the school project would eventually translate into the implementation of the projects both at Akere and the remaining three schools.
