The Human Resources Development Centre (HRDC) of the University of Lagos (UNILAG) has introduced a nine-month professional diploma programme on election monitoring and administration to strengthen Nigeria’s democracy.
The Programme Coordinator, Dr Ben Onwudinjo, disclosed this at a news conference in Abuja on Friday.
He said the programme, which will run in collaboration with The Praxis College of Engineering and Technology, Abuja, is scheduled to begin on Oct. 12.
According to him, the diploma is designed to ensure that the 2027 general elections are the most credible and transparent in Nigeria’s democratic history.
Onwudinjo said that prospective candidates include technical staff, politicians, and individuals interested in serving as local or international election monitors and observers.
