 Kaduna Govt Expresses Worry Over Low Voter Registration, Calls For Wider Mobilisation


The Kaduna State Government has raised concerns over the poor turnout in the ongoing voter registration exercise, urging council chairmen, traditional institutions, religious leaders, and the media to step up mobilisation efforts.


Commissioner for Information, Malam Ahmed Maiyaki, said Governor Uba Sani has introduced practical measures to encourage more eligible voters to register and participate in the democratic process.


Maiyaki made the remarks at a stakeholders’ meeting aimed at addressing the challenges hindering registration and developing strategies to improve turnout.


According to him, preliminary reports from the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) show that Kaduna State, along with other states in the North West, is falling behind in registration numbers — a situation that has already drawn the federal government’s attention.


He explained that the meeting was broadened to include various stakeholders because of their key roles in reaching different segments of the population.

“This is not about politics,” he stressed. “It is about encouraging youths, women, the elderly, and all groups in society to engage fully in this civic duty.”


The commissioner commended local government chairmen who have already begun awareness campaigns in their areas. He added that the meeting created a platform for sharing experiences and harmonising grassroots strategies.


The engagement was divided into two sessions: an initial meeting with the media to raise awareness, followed by a technical session with council chairmen to strengthen mobilisation at the community level.
