The Electoral College Nigeria, a non-governmental organisation based in Abuja is set to train over 100,000 people on political literacy by the end of 2027.
This was contained in a statement on Friday signed by Kunle Lawal, Executive Director, Electoral College Nigeria.
Lawal said the college had performed remarkably since its inception in 2019 despite its limited resources and no grants.
“The journey to Political literacy and massive political participation is far from over and there is a need to capitalize on the college’s operations through extended partnerships to achieve a wider and more impactful reach.
“With droplets of resources from friends of the college and the board, the college in 2020 till date has trained over 9,000 people virtually and physically and would be working towards training over 100,000 by the End of 2023.
“A politically literate citizen not only comprehends the current state of governance, but also participates in an active and effective way and directs it,” the state read in part.
