With only a few months left to the 2015 General Elections in Nigeria, Co-Creation Hub (CcHub) has been working with the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and a number of NGOs in a move to use technology to make the next elections as seamless as possible.
The three suggested a number of ideas leveraging technology such as building IT tools for INEC and Nigerian NGOs that will cover the entire election cycle from voter’s registration to voter’s education until the results are announced.
Now, CcHub has launched TechSQUAD, a network of highly skilled and professional software developers, designers and internet security experts who will work with top Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) to build and grow innovative IT tools to make the 2015 General Election work.
Arguably the largest single coalition of IT people in Nigeria focusing on one particular subject – the coming elections – and the destiny of our country warrants it. TechSQUAD will rely on mobile phones and what the phones can do – including voice calls in multiple languages, SMS, browsing the Internet and mobile apps.
