Nigeria and Biometric Registration,The 2015 Experience
Following an April 2014 statistical
"rebasing" exercise, Nigeria has emerged as Africa's fastest
technology advancing country. The Nigerian general election of 2015 was the 5th
quadrennial election to be held since the end of military rule in 1999. The
former president, Goodluck Jonathan sought his second and final term. The
elections were first scheduled to be held on 14 February 2015. However, the
electoral commission postponed it by six weeks to 28 March, mainly due to the
poor distribution of Permanent Voter Cards, and also to curb ongoing Boko Haram
insurgency in certain north-eastern states. The election was extended to 29
March due to delays and technical problems with the biometric card readers.
It was the most expensive election ever to be held on the African continent.
Prior to the election date, Nigerians came out en-masse for the registration
and for their biometric data to be captured by the newly introduced card
reader; but despite the rigorous registration process and time consumed,
peoples franchise to a large extent were
dined by the card reader machine.
THE AUDACITY OF HOPE: NIGERIA PERSPECTIVE

activist and non-activist, 2015 is seen as a decisive year for Nigeria’s
political, economic and social existence. Given the fact that a national
election, which seems to have generated a lot of tension as it is being fought
around religious and ethnic lines has been successfully completed contrary to
the expectation of many and coupled with a sharp and continuous fall of the
price of crude oil in the international market, the declining dollar reserves
with its attendant currency devaluation and the activities of the Boko Haram
group in the troubled North –east states of Adamawa, Borno and Yobe, there are
definitely ominous signs in the country’s firmament. Therefore, this article
believes that there is no other time than now, for serious introspection by the
country’s leadership on urgent solutions to the challenges ahead.
But just like the Novel
“The Audacity of Hope” by Barack Obama, on thoughts about reclaiming the
American dream (analyzed by Colleen Thoburn).
