Vice-Chancellor of the University of Ibadan, Prof. Idowu Olayinka, is the 12th substantive vice-chancellor of the premier university. He is also a member of Council of the Nigerian Mining and Geosciences Society and was Chairman of Awards Committee of the society between 2007 and 2012. He is a peer reviewer of European Journal of Environmental and Engineering Geophysics/Near-Surface Geophysics. Olayinka was the returning officer in Ogun State during the recently concluded general elections.
The second level is at the registration area level. What is done here is to collate all the results from the various polling units in the ward. There are many logistic problems associated with elections in a country as big as Nigeria in terms of the physical size and difficult terrains especially in the riverside areas which may not be accessible by road. INEC would ordinarily be expected to be extra careful with the distribution of sensitive materials so that they do not get into wrong hands who may have other sinister motives. I understand that INEC has just about 16,000 workers nationwide.
For a governorship election, the winner is expected to score at least one-quarter of the votes in the two-thirds of the local government areas. For the presidential election, for which the entire country is the constituency, the winner is expected to score at least one-quarter of the votes in at least 24 states, representing two-thirds of the 36 states.
Electronic voting has been said to be a solution to rigging, logistic problem and other issues. Is Nigeria ripe for it?
True talk
Yet another liar that hate progress smh
For ones politicians will have the fear of the electorate ,because it will be done on them that the electorate actually have the power to vote them out if they fail to perform
Make me INEC chairman and see if electronic voting will not cub malpractice.
Some of them have started Hacking INEC sever
Uncle, it will
They handed over electoral processes to Nigerian professors and that had just made us to realize that a lot of Nigerian professors lack integrity and the ability to do anything rightly.
E voting would go a long way in reducing high budget on election and violence that normally erupts during and after election plus chances of rigging will be at base.
Thanks Prof. Sound one Sir
E-voting will reduce rigging & help curb unnecessary loss of lives of our future leaders(corpers). For every election cycle, we keep loosing our fresh graduates to electoral violence & malpractices.
How about applying your brainpower to what will stop it, or at least reduce it to an insignificant level? Profs should not be making national headlines by repeating what kindergarten kids already know.
At list it will stop all this killing up and down
See the face of one of the useless VCs that's adamant of bringing our electoral processes down in Nigeria. Useless liar.
Pure lie
It will sir, with a reliable, secured server.. the despiration of d politicians den wud b to deliver good governance. No queues, no ballot box/snatching/destruction/announcement under dures, no vote buying.its worki for odas, it will wok for us
So we should stock with this outdated way of voting? Well I won't vote again until we upgrade
Analogue VC, never in tune with Technology. He should have agreed that ICT wont help secure his money in the bank na
Yes we still needs it
E- voting will stop manipulation of figures from professors who INEC hires as Returning Officers, our Corp members won't be deployed for elections, no snatching of ballots, voters apathy will reduce, cost of conducting election will drop by almost 70%, no more jobs for thugs etc
Yes! Bcos, some politicians will still pay hackers to hack the systems
I think we are so much afraid of venturing into things that would better our lives in this country.. Yes, e-voting may not solve the problem, but would reduce it to a great extent.
Punch have added pepper and salt to what the man said! If you are waiting for Nigerian politician to change before you start using electronic voting you will wait forever. Just Use technology to make them conform, all it need is intelligent solution architects.
Electronic voting would cut cost of conducting election and in contrary to..... it will reduce rigging to manageable level.
Electronic ballot paper, acredition, voting, counting,collation,live coverage, realtime results, transparency will stop rigging.
Olayinka is not exactly a very bright human.
but it will reduce the high rate of rigging
this is a true talk Prof. Rather the election will be for rich that can hackers to win.
It will curb violence won't it? Also,it depends on the platform that's used. Block chain has never been hacked successfully.Electronic voting will make it much harder for them.
True talk
