Towards building an empowered electorate, and Strengthening Nigeria’s Democracy
Our Accomplishment in 2023 Nigerian Elections
The Nigerian Physicians Advocacy Group (NPAG)
In line with our mission to help improve the electoral system and reduce voter apathy, we began to forge relationship with the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). We began in Abia state where we were able to register 74,299 voters between February 1st and May 31st, 2022. We used free medical screening to encourage voter registration. We were able to medically screen over 50,000 Abians across the 17 Local Government Areas (LGAs).
We helped mobilize registered voters to pick up their Permanent Voters Card (PVC) in Abia and Lagos states in all 17 and 20 LGAs respectively while providing voter education through our media sensitization program. Free blood pressure screening and treatment was also utilized to enhance our impact. We conducted door to door sensitization encouraging voters to get out to vote in Abia, Lagos and Kano states. In all, we helped mobilize over 200,000 Nigerians to collect their PVCs in Abia and Lagos States and, reached over 5 million listeners through our media sensitization campaign.
We are currently in Imo and Kogi states encouraging voters to turn out to vote during the November 11th, 2023 Gubernatorial elections.
