Future Elections: Nigerians can develop better technology for card readers – NASENI boss
With Nigerians still reminiscing over the outcome of the recent elections, the Executive Vice-Chairman, National Agency for Science Engineering Infrastructure , Haruna Sani, has said Nigerians have the technical capacity to develop better technology to take care of future elections.
But, the NASENI Executive Secretary said Nigerians in the agency have the technical know-how to develop and produce better technology for more sensitive card readers with the capacity to handle future elections.“If in every election, we rush abroad and purchase card readers and other equipment, we will continue to have these problems. We have all the brains and technical know-how in Nigeria to develop better technology for more sensitive card readers.
Hence, he said the need for local solution as a way out to the inability to use imported card readers. He said NASENI had demonstrated the technology in the past, adding the device the agency developed would issue PVCs in two minutes. “I witnessed someone complaining that the card reader in Sabongida was not working. But, we later discovered the ballot paper had a transparent seal for projection against dust.
