Lagos leads with 2.6m as INEC registers 22m
Yusuf Alli, Abuja 27/01/2011
Despite the public outcry, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has registered 22,175,263 would-be voters in 35 states and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) – as of the ninth day of the exercise.
The figure for Katsina State was unavailable as at press time.
Lagos is leading the way with 2,668,472 would-be voters. Of the lot, only 59,844 were registered on the first day.
Kano takes the second position. No fewer than 1,346,240 prospective voters have been registered. Adamawa is third with 1,011,341.
This fact-sheet on the ongoing voter registration is part of a Progress Report submitted to the Senate yesterday by the Chairman of the commission, Prof. Attahiru Jega.
The document, which was obtained from the Senate, shows that the figure presented by Jega was the outlook as at between the fifth and the ninth day of the exercise.
The INEC chairman, however, said that by the commission's projections, it would only be able to register 44,852,076m or 51million prospective voters in 15 days and 65,783,046million in 22 days – if the exercise is extended by seven days.
Although he admitted that INEC registered 268,770 on the first day, Jega said right from the eighth day, the commission had been recording a daily average of 4.3million nationwide.
The report reads in part: "The table above shows that there is even less cause for alarm. Notwithstanding that the records from many states are still awaited, even on the basis of the low figures of the first week, our projection is that we will reach about 45 million in 15 days.
"If we project even further to 22 days, based on a one-week extension, we approach a figure of 66 million.
"However, considering the exponential rise in numbers since the first few days, it is reasonable to expect that when all the data are in we should be far above that figure.
"In fact, if we take the total registration on the eighth day of 4.3 million as the daily average, for the succeeding seven days, we should expect to reach 51 million registrants. "Still, looking at the surge in registration and the enthusiasm of Nigerians, I am sure that we are now surpassing 4.3 million people registering daily."
The commission also said it had deployed 120,000 units of the Direct Data Capture machine.
INEC said: "The first set of the DDC machines consisting of 7574 units came into the country on December 8, 2010. At the start of registration, the total number of machines deployed in the States was about 107,000. Within the first five days of registration, we had deployed about 115,500 units.
"By this morning, we have deployed well over 120,000 units. We are confident that by the end of today, every polling unit in Nigeria should have at least one DDC machine. We have identified areas of high surge in turnout across the country, particularly Abuja and Lagos, and we are deploying additional machines to ensure that we register as many people as possible.
"We are aware of and appreciate the efforts already underway in the National Assembly to adjust the legal provisions on registration to make it possible for us to extend the exercise. If this happens and we extend by one week, we are confident of capturing practically all qualified voters who come to the registration centres.
Jega pleaded with Nigerians to be patient.
He said: "The registration remains on course, in spite of the reported challenges, which have been and will continue to be rapidly responded to. Things are stabilising and normalising, and there is no more cause for alarm.
"We apologise to Nigerians for any inconveniences and lapses that may have been noted in the registration exercise. Given the scale and magnitude of organisation and deployment of human and material resources for this exercise, some of these challenges are bound to occur.
"The good thing, however, is that our rapid response strategy has worked to address these satisfactorily.
The report highlighted the challenges being faced by the commission in the ongoing exercise.
INEC added: "Since the registration started on January 15, we have received reports from across the country on the challenges that face the registration exercise, the biggest challenge being the amount of time it takes to register an individual.
"The Commission has moved in to address the issue, and by Sunday had developed a solution that drastically reduced the time spent in registering a single person.
"There have also been challenges in terms of the deployments, and in a number of cases, support equipment, such as printers and web cams. These are being addressed and will soon be behind us. We have technical teams in all the states and the FCT involving our ICT staff, the manufacturers and Technical Support Groups.
"These teams are moving round locations in order to deal with reported challenges. In a very few instances, equipment had to be replaced. In all cases, however, the Commission's teams have met and are meeting all challenges so far brought to its attention.
"The moving teams are being fed with information from a Central Help Desk that collects, coordinates, and channels information from the public to the relevant most competent persons on the ground to deal with it. In addition, most National Commissioners are out in the field observing, monitoring, and sending feedback to the Central Help Desk as well as the Action Plan Implementation Committee of the Commission that is the operational centre of the whole registration exercise."
