INFORMATION KIT FOR 2015

GENERAL ELECTIONS

1

FOREWARD

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has come a long way since 2011 in making the Nigerian electoral process transparent, as a way of ensuring that elections are free, fair and credible and that they measure up to global best standards of democratic elections. We have done this not only by reforms that have been in the electoral procedures, but also in the way informationon the process is made available for public use and awareness.

Even though the yearnings of many Nigerians for a perfect electoral process may not have been fulfilled yet, our reforms since 2011 has ensured incremental improvement in the quality and credibility of elections that have been conducted. Beginning with some of the Governorship elections conducted by INEC since 2013, the Commission began to articulate Information Kits for the enlightenment of the public, especially election observers and journalists who may need some background information in order to follow and adequately undertstand the electoral process.

With the 2015 General Elections scheduled to take place nationwide, this document is unique, in that it brings together electoral information about all the 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT). I am optimistic that this kit will contribute to the body of knowledge about the Nigerian electoral system and enhance the transparency of the 2015 elections.

AKNOWLEDGEMENT

A compilation of this sort cannot but be a product of the entire organisation’s collective effort: the Commission, led by Hon. Chairman, who gave approval for project execution; the Resident Electoral Commissioners (RECs) who activated the process of providing the required information from their respective jurisdiction; and the Adminstrative Secretaries who provided the responses to the national headquarters. The need to make an information package like this compedium available to the public is a commitment mutually shared within the Commission, and which all worked hard to deliver.

A major credit for the compilation goes to Princess Hamman-Obels who worked the phones relentlessly to get INEC states offices to provide their input in the specific form required, and who worked the computers for long hours to format the content. Credit also goes to Chinwe Ogbuka who re-worked the histories of the states and the FCT into compact forms suitable for this compilation.

INTRODUCTION

Information is necessary for efficient functioning in every sphere of human endeavour. For the Nigerian electoral system, and the 2015 General Elections in particular, some basic information can be helpful in understanding and interpreting the processes, as well as in connecting with various stakeholders in election management. This compedium is designed to provide such basic information.

The Information Kit is a user-friendly compilation of electoral information about the 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory where the 2015 elections will be conducted. The document will provide the user an overview of basic statistics about the electoral features of each state, the election managers and their contact lines, as well as representatives security agencies on the platform of ICCES and their contact lines. These bits of information will be useful for anyone wishing to follow and understand the polling process. It is hoped that voters, media professionals and election observers, among others, will find the kit handy in understanding the processes of the general election.

With population density ranging between 200-1500 persons per square kilometer, there is much pressure on the land. Land therefore is a very sensitive issue in the cultural heritage of the . The population is almost evenly distributed across the state, and family compound setting is very important and strong. The major nucleated settlements in the state include , and Orlu. Owerri is the capital, and attracts many people from all over the state that still retain their indigenous home affiliation.
