The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, says nearly half of the eligible voters in Nigeria are youths.
The commission stated that the youths constitute the highest number of registered voters, who would vote in the February and March elections with 48 million out of the entire 93.5 million eligible voters.
The National Commissioner at INEC in charge of Information and Voter Education Committee, Mr. Festus Okoye, made the disclosure during the commission’s engagement with identified groups on the role of the youth ahead of the 2023 general election.
Okoye said from INEC’s records, the youth are in position to determine the outcome of the 2023 elections.
