Kimpact Development Initiative (KDI) has launched ‘Naija Elections’ App to provide up-to-date electoral information during the Nigerian electoral process. ‘Naija Elections’ is a generative AI tool developed by KDI with assistance from the UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO).

According to Minister of Youth Development Jamila Ibrahim, artificial intelligence is essential to young people’s electoral development. Ms Ibrahim made her remarks on Thursday in Abuja during the launch of the app. 

She claims that the electoral AI tool ushers in a new era in which all Nigerians will be able to participate in our political process meaningfully.

“By providing our adolescents with simple access to reliable, up-to-date election information, this platform will empower them to make informed decisions and actively engage in electoral processes.

“I want to emphasise the government’s commitment to implementing technology that will improve our democratic processes as we launch this platform today,” Ms Ibrahim stated.

 ‘Naija Elections’ App to deepen democracy in Nigeria 

Speaking at the launch as well, KDI executive director Bukola Idowu stated that young people would find it easier to access the Nigerian electoral environment with the use of this technology.

“The Constitution and INEC are the official sources of information regarding the Niaja elections,” Mr. Idowu stated. We have provided you with reliable information, and you can use the platform without logging in. It only allows you to log in; personal information is not stored.

“A well-informed electorate is pivotal for a country that is as large and diverse as Nigeria,” stated Cynthia Rowe, director of development at FCDO.

She contends that voters who possess knowledge are better able to participate meaningfully in the democratic process and make informed political decisions.

She claims that technology is closing the digital divide in security, education, and business, ensuring far more efficiency.

“As we celebrate this launch, it’s important that we look at the broader context,” Ms. Rowe continued. “Disinformation and misinformation, which encourage scepticism, are exceptional challenges that democracy around the world faces.”

Furthermore, it’s critical that we recognise the impact of our joint efforts to disseminate accurate information through these kinds of venues. Additionally, we are advancing democratic ideals globally and bolstering Nigerian democracy.

The app, which can be downloaded by visiting www.naijaelections.ng, was created by Nigerians and is designed to provide any electoral information pertaining to Nigeria.

About Kimpact Development Initiative (KDI) and ‘Naija Elections’ App

A non-profit, non-partisan, non-governmental organisation with a youth focus, Kimpact Development Initiative (KDI) encourages citizen-led democratic development based on the ideas of engagement, data-driven advocacy, robust democratic institutions, and public policies. 

Naija Elections offers assurance and clarity at every turn.
