SEVEN YEARS OF BUILDING POLITICAL LITERACY IN NIGERIA

Today marks seven years of the Electoral College Nigeria.

What began as a vision to confront political illiteracy has grown into a nationally rooted and internationally recognised movement dedicated to advancing political literacy, constitutional awareness, democratic values, and responsible citizenship across Nigeria.

Over the past seven years, we have received more than 50,000 registrations and successfully trained and graduated over 16,000 Nigerians through structured learning programmes, debates, governance dialogues, media engagements, and civic education initiatives. From communities to institutions, our work has remained focused on strengthening citizens’ understanding of politics and governance.

We are honoured that our work has been acknowledged both locally and internationally, a recognition that reinforces the urgency and relevance of civic education in sustaining democracy.

We remain deeply grateful to our partners, including Centre for Journalism Innovation and Development @CJIDAfrica
, Embassy of Sweden in Nigeria @SwedeninNigeria , National Endowment for Democracy @NEDemocracy , Centre for Fiscal Transparency @FTransparencyNG , Pop Central TV @popcentraltv and the Cable @thecableng as well as many other institutions, collaborators, and individuals who continue to believe in this mission.

However, while we mark this seventh anniversary, we do so with a heavy sense of responsibility to the present realities of our country. Due to the current state of insecurity and in deep concern for the children and families affected particularly the children still in captivity, we have chosen to acknowledge this milestone without proceeding with planned celebratory activities.

Our commitment to Nigeria remains unchanged. But in moments like this, reflection must take precedence over celebration.

As we move forward, we reaffirm our dedication to building a more informed citizenry, strengthening democratic culture, and advocating for a Nigeria where safety, dignity, and justice are not privileges, but guarantees.

Seven years on, the mission continues with greater urgency, deeper resolve, and renewed responsibility.

For the love of country

Executive Director

Political choices are not always shaped by logic or facts alone.

Emotions, identity, loyalty, and perception often influence how citizens engage with politics.

Can propaganda, identity, and fear influence democracy?

Join us this Friday at 5PM as #Politeracy101 examines the “Psychology of Politics: Myths and Realities” with @kunlelawal of @electoralcollng

On this episode of #Politeracy101 with @electoralcollng, @umaryakubu will join us to unpack the critical link between governance and corruption in Nigeria, and ways corruption manifests beyond monetary terms.

[TheCable @thecableng]

The strength of a democracy is closely tied to the strength of its media. From shaping public discourse to holding institutions accountable, the media plays a critical role in democratic life.

Join us on the next episode of #Politeracy101 to discuss the state of the Nigerian media with @kamri_apollo

we are reminded of the power of renewal, sacrifice, and hope. It is a season that calls us to reflect, to extend kindness
May this time inspire compassion, strengthen our bonds with one another, and fill our hearts with peace and gratitude.

[ElectoralCollegeNG @electoralcollng]

Campaign financing is shaping outcomes more than competence. When politics becomes too expensive, we don’t filter out bad candidates, we price out good ones

Transparency is not optional. Voters must ask not just who is running, but who is funding them and why

[TheCable @thecableng]

Did you know Nigeria has a National Ethics and Integrity Policy?

Designed to fight corruption, promote national unity and accountability, the policy aims to change both systems and behaviours in governance.

But years after its introduction, a key question remains: is it making any real difference?

Join us at 6pm on Thursday as @kunlelawal explains the policy’s scope, its promises, the challenges,
and what it means for citizens and public institutions.

Elections don’t run on vibes. They run on money.

Who pays for campaign posters, rallies, ads and influencers?
How much are politicians allowed to spend — and who’s checking?
As we get closer to 2027, campaign money plays a bigger role than most people realise.

Join us on Thursday at 6pm as we break down how campaign money works, the rules, the loopholes, and why it should matter to you.
