The Chairman, Outreach and Partnership Committee of INEC, Dr Adekunle Ladipo, said this at a one-day meeting on capturing dis-aggregated data of persons with disabilities in the country held on Tuesday, in Kano.
According to him, data on size, location type and gender of people with disabilities, is needed to provide the required effective service.“Those that require braille need to be educated on how to operate it before they can effectively use it in making their choices on election day. “The meeting developed a harmonised format to be used to ensure uniformity in collection of the data in the voter register across the nation.’’
Dorothy-Bello added that in line with the UN convention, the commission had demonstrated its commitment towards ensuring participation of people with disabilities in the electoral process.“Therefore ensuring that relevant statistics and research data are made available to the policy makers, is a precondition for responsive and effective evidence-based policy making.
