The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, has an inadequate presence on the world wide web. The Internet is too powerful, to important and too helpful to be underused or ignored. Not in the 21st century. This needs to be corrected right away!
Here are some thoughts:
1) Full official info about Nigeria should be given, including geography, demography, religion, economy, foreign policy, etc
2) Present political state of the nation, including data on old and new parties
3) Full details of all the registered political parties, their candidates for various offices, pictures, manifestoes, full contacts, etc
4) Summarised details of the registration exercise and the critical voter education info for 2007 Elections
5) Gender-support Action
6) Youth mobilisation Agenda
7) Multimedia Networking, including the Nigerian Blogging Community, as is now the trend worldwide (INEC needs to accredit credible Bloggers for the elections promptly).
8) All legislations governing and guidelines shaping the elections and the electoral process
9) Full info on INEC and its offices nationwide
10) Qualitative INEC Publications and user-friendly eDocuments
It is time for time for the Chairman's Office to properly engage the Nigerian Public and get the VOTERS on the commission's side! Is there an INEC Press Office up to the task?
Get to work, folks, time is short!
