Nigeria Must Take Gradual Approach to Electronic Voting – Former INEC Boss Jega

Jega Urges Caution on Electronic Voting Rollout Professor Attahiru Jega , former Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) , has called for a gradual rollout of electronic voting in Nigeria , citing infrastructural and cybersecurity limitations. He made this known during a panel session at the June 12 edition of The Platform Africa , monitored by News.ng. “We should adopt e-voting—but not overnight,” he said.“It’s not something that can happen suddenly.” Jega urged policymakers to evaluate Nigeria’s readiness before pushing full-scale implementation of electronic voting systems. Why Nigeria Isn’t Ready for Full E-Voting Yet One of the main obstacles to electronic voting in Nigeria is inadequate technological infrastructure , especially in rural areas. Jega highlighted how countries like Estonia and India manage their electoral tech better than Nigeria—despite being more advanced. “In Estonia, they use internet voting because […]

Influenceurs Hors-Piste : Quand la Contestation Perd le Nord

Lomé, Togo – Ce lundi, l’Alliance Nationale pour le Changement (ANC), principal parti d’opposition dirigé par Jean-Pierre Fabre, a exprimé sa désapprobation face aux récentes tentatives de mobilisation initiées par des influenceurs sur les réseaux sociaux, en fin de semaine dernière à Lomé. Des appels diffusés sur TikTok, X (ex-Twitter) et WhatsApp ont tenté de rallier la jeunesse autour d’un mouvement sans organisation ni leadership identifié. Si l’impact a été limité sur le terrain, le phénomène révèle un problème plus profond : la montée d’une contestation sans boussole. 💬 Une agitation numérique peu constructive Pour Éric Dupuy, porte-parole de l’ANC, cette effervescence digitale est préoccupante : « Si l’initiative avait été menée en coordination avec les partis politiques, elle aurait pu être mieux structurée. Mais là, nos jeunes militants ne pouvaient pas rejoindre un mouvement sans cadre, sans vision claire […]

Augmentation des tarifs d’électricité au Togo : la colère monte parmi les consommateurs

La Compagnie Électrique du Togo (CEET) fait face à une vive levée de boucliers après avoir annoncé une augmentation générale des tarifs électriques , jugée injuste et malvenue par les groupes de défense des droits des consommateurs. La Ligue togolaise des consommateurs (LCT) s’est exprimée avec fermeté : « Cette décision unilatérale est incompréhensible et inacceptable. Elle pénalise les plus fragiles et menace leur équilibre précaire », a dénoncé Emmanuel Sogadji , président de la LCT. Une mesure mal vécue dans un contexte tendu Le moment choisi pour cette augmentation suscite de nombreuses interrogations. Dans un pays où le coût de la vie ne cesse de grimper, les ménages sont déjà sous pression. Selon la LCT, cette hausse pourrait entraîner un effet domino sur les autres dépenses essentielles, comme l’eau, le transport et les biens alimentaires. « Les familles vivent […]

Des professeurs cherchent une tribune plus qu’une vérité

Trois universitaires togolais regroupés sous l’appellation du "Nouveau Contrat Social" ont publié une critique ciblée des trente premiers jours de la 5e République . Leur discours s’en prend principalement à la mise en place des nouvelles institutions, à l’absence de gouvernement officiel et à la concentration des pouvoirs entre les mains du Président du Conseil . Mais derrière le vernis académique, leur démarche interpelle. Quelle valeur donner à ces analyses, souvent diffusées sans fondement juridique clair, si ce n’est d’alimenter une défiance générale sans proposer d’alternative réaliste ? Surtout quand elles reposent sur des impressions fortes et des expressions comme « monarchie inédite » ou « République mort-née ». Une confusion regrettable Ce mélange d'activisme et d’autoproclamation d’expertise entretient une confusion jugée regrettable par plusieurs observateurs. En remplaçant constamment les contre-pouvoirs institutionnels par des prises de parole médiatisées, ces intellectuels […]

CaRMIS: How a Nigerian Innovation Is Revolutionizing Humanitarian Response in West Africa

Bridging the Tech Gap in Humanitarian Work In a region where crises—from conflict to climate disasters—demand swift action, CaRMIS (Capacity and Response Management Information System) is rewriting the rules of humanitarian aid. Developed by Nigerian innovator Dr. Michael Ibe and a team of IT experts, CaRMIS is a locally-built digital platform designed to streamline emergency response, improve transparency, and empower communities across West Africa. Traditional humanitarian models often rely on outdated, paper-based systems prone to delays and errors. CaRMIS disrupts this by offering real-time data collection, analysis, and coordination tools for project managers, donors, and partners. From tracking food distribution in flood zones to monitoring health campaigns in conflict areas, the platform ensures faster, more efficient interventions. Redefining Cash-Based Aid with E-Wallets Long before global aid agencies adopted digital payments, Dr. Ibe pioneered e-wallets for cash transfers in Nigeria’s conflict-ridden […]
