Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) revealed that it had developed a special mobile application that would allow Nigerians monitor the 2019 general election and reduce electoral malfeasance.
A National Commissioner with INEC and Chairman, Board of The Electoral Institute, TEI, Dr. Mustapha Lecky, has made this known in Abuja, while declaring open a three-day workshop on Electoral Security Training of Trainers Workshop for State Training Officers.
He said: “We have deployed something that as at today, if you go to INEC website or Google play, you can download an INEC i-reporter which is something that INEC has spent a lot of money in developing.
“It allows every Nigerian to be an observer and a reporter of events as it happen.
“This you can download freely and have it on your smart phones, so you can take pictures, you can also take a short video and send it to us.
“It is geo-reference, so we know exactly where that issue is taking place and we can easily draw the attention of police or other security agencies to make sure that matter is actually addressed.”
