Abuja, Nigeria. January 11th 2017 – New aggregated power poll results released by NOIPolls for the second half of 2016 (July to December 2016) covering Q3 and Q4 revealed a decline in power supply to Nigerian households in Q4 as only an average of 37 percent reported improvement in power supply, thus representing a significant 9-point decline when compared to the third quarter (Q3) of 2016 at 46 percent. Moreover, Nigerians experienced the highest improvement in power supply in Q3 (46 percent) and this was possibly as a result of the adequate water reserves in the nation’s water dams within this period (the peak of the rainy season) used to power the Hydro Generating Plants since Nigeria’s Kainji, Shiroro and Jebba hydro plants rely on water to generate electricity. A view of the individual months covered in this period revealed a constant downward trend observed from the month of October to December 2016 and the month of December accounted for the lowest (27 percent) improvement in power supply in the second half of 2016. Similarly, analysis of the monthly average cumulative hours of power supply experienced by Nigerian households nationwide for the months of August and September 2016 each stood at 10.6 hours daily, representing the highest daily cumulative hours of power supply within the six month period while the quarterly nationwide average daily cumulative power supply to Nigerian households in Q3, 2016 stood at 9.9 hours. It is pertinent to note that although these daily average hours of cumulative availability of power were not near an acceptable standard of 24 hours daily supply, it was perceived to be a little better than the results obtained in Q1, Q2 and Q4, 2016 with the quarterly nationwide average daily cumulative power supply of 8.8 hours, 6 hours and 9.6 hours respectively. These current results were in line with the power industry statistics obtained from the National Electric System Operation (SO) which showed that electricity generation improved step by step in the third and fourth quarter of the year across the country as power generation hovered above 4,000MW, contrary to around 2,500 to 3,000 megawatts in the second quarter. Nonetheless, more still needs to be done to find a pragmatic solution to issues militating against power generation, transmission and distribution as anything short of this is capable of affecting development in the county. Lastly, the power insufficiency in the country is of great concern and calls for immediate action to address this persistent problem. Nigerians are not oblivious of the tremendous efforts of the Federal Government of Nigeria at salvaging the Nigerian economy, but without fixing the power sector, those efforts would be futile. This is because constant electricity supply is pivotal to achieving socio-economic development and as a nation that craves immense development in this regard; more needs to be done[1]. These are some of the key findings from the aggregated power sector poll conducted by NOIPolls over a period of six months (July to December 2016). Background Since the Power Sector Reform Act was enacted in 2005, transferring the public control of the Nigerian Electricity Power Authority (NEPA) to the Power Holding Company of Nigeria (PHCN), the Federal Government of Nigeria (FGN) has made frantic efforts to attract private investors while also taking various steps towards the restructuring of the Nigerian Power Sector, all in a bid to establish an electricity supply that is efficient, reliable and cost-effective throughout the country. However, it has seemed like a herculean task as power supply is yet to improve as hoped since the privatization.[2] The National Electric System Operation (SO), puts the general National Peak Demand Forecast at about 17,000MW, conversely the highest power generation ever attained was 5,074.7MW while the recent peak energy generated is just a little over 4, 000MW[3]. This is paltry when compared to the national demand and easily translates to an unavailable and unstable electricity supply. This situation is rather lamentable as Nigerians still depend on imported generators for electricity as the little generated is not sufficient for the over 170 million citizens of the country. With the aim of monitoring the progress made so far since the power sector reforms in Nigeria, NOIPolls introduced the Power Polls in 2013 to explore the perception of Nigerians towards the power sector reforms. The polls were conducted monthly to explore the amount of power supply received daily, as well as the state of power supply to households. The result presented is a 6-Months (July – December) tracking of power supply to households from the consumers’ end in 2016. Survey Findings Nationwide Monthly Tracking of Power Supply Analysis of findings from the monthly tracking of power supply over a period of six months, precisely from July to December 2016, revealed that 53 percent of Nigerians experienced more power supply in the month of September. However, a constant downward trend was observed from the month of October to December 2016 and the month of December accounted for the lowest (27 percent) in power supply in the second half of 2016. Nationwide Average Quarterly Trend of Power Supply Subsequently, quarterly analysis of results revealed that Q3, 2016 recorded the highest average improvement in power supply nationwide with 46 percent and this figure represents a significant 9-point decline when compared to Q4, 2016. This implies that most Nigerians experienced less power supply in their household in the fourth quarter (Q4) than in the third quarter (Q3) of 2016. An overall analysis of 2016 showed that Nigerians experienced the highest improvement (46 percent) in power supply in Q3. On the other hand, Nigerians experienced the lowest (17 percent) power supply in Q2 and this represents a huge 29-point difference between the two quarters. Nationwide Monthly Average Cumulative Daily Power Supply Further analysis of the monthly average cumulative hours of power supply experienced by Nigerian households nationwide for the months of August and September 2016 each stood at 10.6 hours daily and they both represent the highest daily cumulative hours of power supply within the six months period. On the contrary, the lowest daily cumulative hours of power supply was observed in the months of July 2016 at 8.6 hours. Quarterly Average Daily Cumulative Power Supply Furthermore, quarterly analysis of survey findings revealed that the nationwide average daily cumulative power supply for Q3, 2016 stood at 9.9 hours, while in Q2, 2016 it stood at approximately 9.6 hours which represents a 0.3 hours decline from quarter 3. The overall analysis of results revealed that the nationwide average daily cumulative power supply was highest in Q3, 2016 at 9.9 hours while the lowest daily cumulative power supply to Nigerian households was experienced in Q2, 2016. In conclusion, the poll has revealed that the overall monthly tracking on the state of power supply to Nigerian households over this six months period (July to December) clearly revealed a persistent decline in power supply from the month of October to December 2016. Quarterly analysis of results revealed that Q3, 2016 recorded the highest average improvement in power supply nationwide with 46 percent as well as the highest nationwide average daily cumulative power supply for Q3, 2016 at 9.9 hours. Despite the little increase observed especially in Q3, the Federal Government of Nigeria still has the obligation to take immediate action to crush the problems in the power sector. There should also be a due reconsideration of the use of coordinated security network, by the stakeholders, to eliminate pipeline vandalism so as to put the use of gas turbines at optimum use. The economy of the nation is not at its best, and with the attendant job cuts recently, there is every reason for the power sector players to be on top of their game to find a lasting solution to the persistent issues in the country’s power situation as this could impair development of Nigeria which could in turn negatively affect the citizens’ wellbeing. Survey Methods The opinion poll was conducted over a period of six months (July to December 2016). It involved telephone interviews of a random nationwide sample. 6,000 randomly selected phone-owning Nigerians aged 18 years and above, representing the six geopolitical zones in the country, were interviewed. With a sample of this size, we can say with 95% confidence that the results obtained are statistically precise – within a range of plus or minus 3%.

Abuja, Nigeria. October 29, 2018-The NOIPolls Personal Well-Being Index (PWBI) experienced a decline of 2.3-points in Q3,2018 to stand at 62.9-points from 65.2-points obtained in Q2, 2018. The NOIPolls Personal Wellbeing Index measures the satisfaction of respondents on various aspects of their lives and a decline in these indices indicates a general dissatisfaction with the current state of affairs. Six of the seven factors that constitute the PWBI experienced a decline except the achievement index which experienced a marginal increase. The highest decline was seen in the Economic Index with a 4.9-points decline to stand at 37.1-points from the 42.0-points obtained in Q2, 2018, this slight decrease corroborates the NOIPolls consumer confidence index (CCI) Q3 report recently released which revealed a 6.2-point decline from the result obtained in Q2 2018[1]. Furthermore, the Personal Security Index saw the second highest decline of 3.8-points to stand at 59.7-points in Q3, 2018 from 63.5-points obtained in Q2, 2018. The reason for this further drop in the Personal Security Index could be attributed to the series of security breaches across the length and breadth of the country which require urgent and stringent steps to contain. These are the key highlights from the Q3, 2018 Personal Well-Being Index survey. In February 2014, NOIPolls Limited introduced its portfolio of indices; the NOIPolls Personal Well-Being Index (PWBI), the NOIPolls Consumer Confidence Index (CCI) and the NOIPolls Eagle 30 Business Confidence Index (EBCI). The NOIPolls Personal Well-Being Index measures factors impacting on the lives of everyday Nigerians; thereby producing a complete view of the individual’s personal well-being. The NOIPolls Consumer Confidence Index provides consumer assessments of the economic situation and their intentions and expectations for the future. The NOIPolls Eagle 30 Business Confidence Index measures business leaders’ perceptions and expectations about the Nigerian business environment using the top 30 companies in the country. Nigerian businesses, financial and government agencies largely depend on the perceptions and micro assessment of consumers’ expectation in making decisions. At best, they draw conclusions on the business environment based on information from their immediate surroundings, while the minorities conduct surveys that are time and money consuming. However, the introduction of these indices provides indicators that will ensure stakeholders can detect and respond to changes in consumer behavior, the economy, and the business environment in Nigeria. This report presents the Q3, 2018 results for the NOIPolls Personal Well Being Index (PWBI). THE NOIPOLLS PERSONAL WELL-BEING INDEX (PWBI) Findings from the Q3, 2018 report revealed a marginal decline in the PWBI to stand at 62.9-points. It is worthy to note that the Religion Index which measures satisfaction with personal religion, has always been a major influencing factor in the overall PWBI.  Furthermore, a breakdown of the seven key indicators that make up the PWBI showed that Nigerians were mostly satisfied in terms of Religion (90.2-points), Social Interaction (76.6-points), Physical Health (73.2-points) and Personal Security (59.7-points). All these indices were above average. Also, findings indicated that Nigerians were rather neutral in terms of their Achievement in Life (54.3-points) and Standard of Living (50.6-points), while some Nigerians were not satisfied with their personal Economic Situation (37.1-points) index, which is the lowest ranked among the indices. These seven (7) key indicators that comprise the PWBI are highlighted in the chart below. Personal Standard of Living Index – 50.6 The Personal Standard of Living Index decreased by 1.2-point in Q3, 2018 from the 51.8-points obtained in Q2, 2018 to stand at 50.6-points implying a decline in the level of satisfaction of respondents with their Personal Standard of Living. Personal Health index – 73.2 This index declined by 3.4-points to stand at 73.2-points in Q3, 2018 in comparison to 76.6-points obtained in Q2, 2018. Personal Achievement Index – 54.3 This index increased marginally by 1.2-point to stand at 54.3-points in Q3, 2018 compared to 53.1 obtained in Q2 2018, indicating a marginal increase in the level of satisfaction in the personal achievements of Nigerians. Personal Security Index – 59.7 The personal security index decreased with 3.8-points in Q3, 2018 to stand at 59.7-points from the 63.5 points obtained in Q2, 2018 representing the second highest decrease of the indices. Personal Social Interaction Index – 76.6 This index experienced a decrease of 2.7-point to stand at 76.6-points in Q3, 2018 compared to 79.3-points obtained in Q2, 2018. Despite the decline, this shows that Nigerians still have a high level of social interactions amongst themselves. This is even most compelling in a multi-ethnic and multi-cultural society like Nigeria. Personal Religion Index – 90.2 The Personal Religion Index has always been the highest index amongst the indices, which is suggestive of how religious Nigerians are. The Personal Religion Index decreased marginally by 0.1-point to stand at 90.2-points in Q3, 2018 from 90.3-points obtained in Q2, 2018. Economic Index – 37.1 The Economic Index witnessed the highest decrease of 4.9-point to stand at 37.1-points in Q3, 2018 from 41.8-points of Q2, 2018. This index has consistently been the lowest ranked index over the years and this implies that much is still needed to reinvigorate the economy of the nation. TREND ANALYSIS A study of the trend analysis of the results obtained from the Q3, 2018 PWBI showed that only 1 out of all the seven key indicators that constitute the PWBI increased while the remaining 6 indices experienced a decline. Furthermore, the quarter-on-quarter analysis showed that the NOIPolls PWBI experienced a decline of 2.3-points to stand at 62.9-points in Q3, 2018 compared to 65.2-points of Q3, 2018. Finally, results obtained from the NOIPolls PWBI for Q3, 2018 revealed a marginal decrease of 2.3-points in the Personal Wellbeing of Nigerians. Majority of Nigerians were dissatisfied with their Economic Situation as the index stood at 37.1-points and still remained the lowest ranked index amongst the seven factors that make up the NOIPolls PWBI. Additionally, the Religion and Social Indices witnessed a decrease of 0.2-points and 2.7-point respectively. Previous studies suggest that there is a very high tendency for people to become successful in life, build a strong bond or cohesive relationships and contribute to a stronger community when they are happier, leading to a healthier society (economy). Also, increased indices of the personal wellbeing (Personal Standard of Living, Personal Health, Personal Security, Personal Social Interaction, Personal Religion and Economic Situation) can have a range of benefits for the communities in which we live if we create the enabling environment for an average Nigerian to work and earn a living, thereby, strengthening our economy. Hence, there should be concerted efforts to bring wellbeing into policy-making in Nigeria. The Ministries, Departments and Agencies that form the Nigerian government should be required to provide reports on how their policies will improve the personal wellbeing of citizens as one of the key aims of government is to promote a good life: a life which has meaning and in which people are   happy. Survey Methods The Personal Well Being Index Poll was conducted in Quarter 3, 2018. The PWBI involved telephone interviews of a random nationwide sample. 1,000 randomly selected phone-owning Nigerians aged 18 years and above, representing the six geopolitical zones in the country, were interviewed. With a sample of this size, we can say with 95% confidence that the results obtained are statistically precise – within a range of plus or minus 3%.

Abuja, Nigeria. October 23rd, 2018 – The Consumer Confidence Index (CCI) report released by NOIPolls for Q3, 2018 has revealed a 6.2-points decline in the CCI to stand at 60-points in Q3, 2018 from 66.95-points in Q2, 2018. The NOIPolls Consumer Confidence Index measures how optimistic or pessimistic consumers are regarding their present and future economic prospects. The drop in the CCI suggests that the spending pattern of Nigerian households declined in Q3, 2018. Furthermore, the two variables that make up the CCI; the Present Situation Index (PSI) and the Expectation Index (EI) both experienced a decline. The PSI declined by 1.4-points from the results obtained in Q2, 2018 to stand at 41.7 -points in Q3, 2018, similarly, the EI declined by 9.7-points from the 84.77 obtained in Q2,2018 to stand at 75.1-points. These are the key highlights from the Q3, 2018 Portfolio of Indices Press Release. In February 2014, NOIPolls Limited introduced its portfolio of indices; the NOIPolls Personal Well-Being Index (PWBI), the NOIPolls Consumer Confidence Index (CCI) and the NOIPolls Eagle 30 Business Confidence Index (EBCI). The NOIPolls Personal Well-Being Index measures factors impacting on the lives of everyday Nigerians; thereby producing a complete view of the individual’s personal well-being. The NOIPolls Consumer Confidence Index provides consumer assessments of the economic situation and their intentions and expectations for the future. The NOIPolls Eagle 30 Business Confidence Index measures business leaders’ perceptions and expectations about the Nigerian business environment using the top 30 companies in the country. Nigerian businesses, financial and government agencies largely depend on their perceptions and micro assessment of consumers’ expectation in making decisions. At best, they draw conclusion on the business environment based on information from their immediate surroundings while the minorities conduct surveys that are time and money consuming. However, the introduction of these indices provides indicators that will ensure stakeholders can detect and respond to changes in consumer behaviour, the economy, and the business environment in Nigeria. This report presents the Q3, 2018 results for the NOIPolls Consumer Confidence Index (CCI). THE NOIPOLLS CONSUMER CONFIDENCE INDEX (CCI) The NOIPolls Consumer Confidence Index (CCI) in Q3, 2018 experienced a decline of 6.2-points to stand at 60.8. This is indicative that the spending pattern of citizens dropped in Q3, 2018 perhaps due to the slow rate of economic recovery according to the GDP data for the 3rd quarter of 2018.[1] The figure below shows the two variables that make up the NOIPolls’ Consumer Confidence Index; the Present Situation Index (PSI) and the Expectation Index (EI). The Present Situation Index (PSI) which measures the current perception of consumers regarding their propensity to spend stood at 41.7-points in Q3,2018. Also, the Expectation Index is based on consumers’ perceptions of their future and it stood at 75.1-points in the same quarter. There are 7 variables that comprise the PSI and EI, and each of these variables experienced a decline except for the prices of goods and services index which experienced an increase. These are highlighted below; Current Economic Situation Index – 41.7 The Current Economic Situation Index decreased by 2.4-points to stand at 41.7-points in Q3, 2018 when compared to the 44.1-points obtained in Q2, 2018. Expectation of the Country’s Economic Situation Index –84.2 This index experienced the second highest decline of 9.6-points to stand at 84.2-points in Q3 2018. This signifies a drop-in consumers’ confidence on the improvement of the economic situation in the country. Current Employment Condition Index – 51.6 The Current Employment Situation index declined by 6.9-points to stand at 51.7 in Q3, 2018 opposed to the 58.5 gotten in Q2,2018. Expected Employment Condition Index – 92.9 The Expected Employment Condition Index decreased by 4.7-point from 97.6 points to 92.9-points in Q3, 2018. Current Prices of Goods and Services Index – 31.9 The Current Prices of Goods and Services is the only index that experienced an increase of 4.9-points from the 27.0 points of Q2,2018 to stand at 31.9 points in Q3, 2018.  This signifies that consumers perceived the prices of goods and services to have slightly increased during the period in view. Expectation of Prices of Goods and Services Index – 64.2 The Expectation of Prices of Goods and Services Index experienced the highest decrease of 16.9-points to stand at 64.2-points in Q3, 2018 from the 81.1 points for Q2,2018. Expected Total Family Income Index – 59.0 The Expected Total Family Income Index which was 66.7 points in Q2, 2018 decreased by 7.6-points to stand at 59.0-points in Q3, 2018. TREND ANALYSIS Trend analysis revealed that the CCI, PSI and the EI all decreased compared to results obtained in Q2, 2018. In conclusion, findings show that Consumer Confidence Index declined by 6.2-points in Q3, 2018 to stand at 60.8-points compared to the result obtained Q2, 2018. Although the CCI helps in measuring the degree of optimism consumers have about the economic situation, it is worthy to note that consumers may exaggerate certain aspects of the economy. Therefore, concerned stakeholders are always advised to monitor the Consumer Confidence Index with caution especially in unstable economies as economic activities can change unexpectedly. Survey Methods The Consumer Confidence Index Poll was conducted in Quarter 3, 2018. The CCI involved telephone interviews of a random nationwide sample. 1,000 randomly selected phone-owning Nigerians aged 18 years and above, representing the six geopolitical zones in the country, were interviewed. With a sample of this size, we can say with 95% confidence that the results obtained are statistically precise – within a range of plus or minus 4.65%.

Abuja, Nigeria. October 16th, 2018. An excerpt from NOIPolls’ National Survey conducted in 2017 revealed that 62 percent of Nigerians surveyed were of the opinion that the Nigerian media is independent, although a significant proportion (29 percent) stated the media is not independent. This is worrisome especially as the nation is set to face general elections in February 2019 which is less than five months away and the role of the Nigerian media before, during and after the elections cannot be over emphasized. The Nigerian media is a critical stakeholder in the nation’s effort to advance the cause of democracy, which its sustainability is dependent on the credibility of electoral processes. Speaking at the 2018 All Nigerian Editor’s Conference (ANEC) held in Delta state on 10th October 2018, Mrs. Funke Egbemode, president of the Guild, stated that the media has a role to play in ensuring the sustainability of Nigeria’s democracy in view of the key role it plays in information dissemination and moulding of public opinion. She further stated that it is imperative that the media is properly positioned not only to understand the issues involved in organising a credible election, but to advance a true democratic culture in the manner it reports issues of politics and governance.[1] Furthermore, in terms of corruption in media, the survey revealed that Nigerians believe the internet has the highest level of corruption in the Nigerian media space, followed by newspapers and television. While radio was considered the least corrupt, no media outlet, print or electronic, was deigned to be completely free of corruption in the country. When asked about perception on media independence, many Nigerians (62 percent) believed that the Nigerian media are independent, while a smaller but significant proportion of Nigerians (29 percent) disagreed as they do not believe the Nigerian media is truly independent.  In terms of gender, 63 percent and 61 percent of male and female respondents believed the Nigerian media is independent, while 30 percent and 28 percent of male and female respondents said no respectively. When disaggregated by regions, some variations become obvious. While 49 percent of respondents from the North-Central considered the Nigerian media to be independent, it was 61 percent, 78 percent, 57 percent, 44 percent and 69 percent for the North-East, North-West, South-East, South-South and South-West respectively. The North-Central, North-East, South-East and South-South fell below the nationwide score of 62 percent, while only the South-West surpassed it. The perception of the level of corruption among these media outlets was also tested among the respondents. Findings revealed that 45 percent of the respondents felt that corruption was low in Radio, compared to 31 percent who claimed the same for Newspapers, 34 percent in Television and 36 percent for Internet and Social Media. Another 36 percent of respondents considered corruption to be moderate in Radio, compared to 43 percent for Newspapers and Television and 31 percent for Internet and Social Media. On the other hand, 13 percent of respondents felt corruption was high in Radio, 19 percent in Newspapers, 17 percent in Television and 33 percent in Internet and Social Media. This implied that respondents believe the internet/Social Media to be the most corrupt in the Nigerian media, followed by Newspapers, then Television and Radio as the least corrupt. Yet, one fact obvious from the chart below is that no media outlet, print or electronic, was thought to be completely free of corruption in the country. It was only a matter of degree. In conclusion the poll revealed that Nigerians had a relatively positive perception on the media as about 6 in 10 (62 percent) believed that the Nigerian media are independent while almost 3 in 10 (29 percent) thought otherwise. However, it is essential that the Nigerian media is perceived to be totally independent as they are major stakeholders in ensuring that Nigeria’s democracy is sustained through accurate information dissemination. In terms of corruption in the Nigerian media, a larger proportion generally perceived Radio (45percent) to have a low level of corruption, while the Internet and Social Media to have a higher level of corruption. Finally, given that an independent media is important for democracy, there is need for transparency to be promoted across all the forms of media especially as the 2019 general elections draw closer. Corruption in the media sector can be curbed through the implementation of ethical frameworks for media institutions to enhance professional standards. Additionally, Media outlets should ensure their staff and journalists uphold ethics and integrity, through set codes of conduct, train staff consistently on approved behavioral patterns, constantly ensure such patterns are strictly adhered to and ensuring adequate stiff punishment is meted out to erring journalists. Methodology The National poll was conducted through face-to-face interviews. All interviews were conducted in five major Nigerian languages:  English, Pidgin English, Yoruba, Hausa and Igbo.  A total of 5000 respondents were surveyed across the nation. All states and senatorial districts in Nigeria were proportionately represented in the poll. In each of the 109 senatorial districts, a Local Government Area (LGA) which is the headquarter of each senatorial district was selected for interview.  This represents three (3) LGAs per State. Three (3) LGAs were also randomly selected in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja. In total, 111 LGAs were polled in each of the yearly poll. All respondents were aged 18 and older.

Abuja, Nigeria. October 9, 2018. The United Nation’s International Day of the Girl Child is commemorated annually on the 11th of October. The main aim of the day is to promote girls’ empowerment and fulfilment of their human rights while also highlighting and addressing the needs and the challenges that girls all over the world face. The theme for the 2018 commemoration is ‘‘With Her: A Skilled GirlForce’’. Under this theme, the Day will mark the beginning of a year-long effort to bring together partners and stakeholders to advocate for, and draw attention and investments to the most pressing needs and opportunities for girls to attain skills for employability. This can be achieved through expanding existing learning opportunities, charting new pathways and calling on the global community to rethink how to prepare girls for a successful transition into the world of work.[1] In commemorating the International Day of the Girl Child, NOIPolls presents a throwback from its previous public opinion poll conducted in 2017, which highlighted the perception of Nigerians on the importance of Girl Child Education and the factors militating against it in Nigeria. The poll revealed that almost all the respondents (99 percent) acknowledged that Girl Child Education is important to their community as shown in the chart below. This is impressive considering the fact that the girl child needs to be educated in order to acquire the requisite knowledge and skills needed to advance her status for social interactions and self-improvement. The poll also sought the opinion of Nigerians on the factors militating against girl child education in Nigeria and a greater fraction of the respondents (28 percent) cited poverty as a major factor militating against girl child education. This is not surprising as poverty has been one of the most disturbing economic issues ravaging the entire sub-Saharan Africa. With about 67 percent of Nigerians living in poverty,[2] parents will be faced with challenges of making a choice of sacrificing the education of some of their children which is usually the girl child. Another social problem mentioned by 20 percent is the one posed by culture and tradition. Some traditions stipulate that a woman’s place is in her husband’s kitchen and her primary role is centered around her home. These beliefs have kept many girls away from education as such families’ see investment in girl child education as a waste. Even after some girls narrowly get the education, they face social and cultural barriers to obtaining leadership and management functions because they are women. In conclusion, it is evident from the poll that girl child education is of great importance to communities in Nigeria. Girl child education enables the girl utilize her full potentials, broadens her mind, prepares her for the challenges of life and teaches her how to conquer them; she is given the confidence to discover who and what she wants to be. While the importance of education to girl child empowerment in the Nigerian society cannot be over emphasized, there is a need for closer attention to be paid on the factors militating against girl child education. Achieving this would in turn require an emphasis on good governance and inclusiveness, as well as a general promotion of policies on gender equality, rural development, poverty alleviation, societal re-orientation, and job creation. Finally, girl child empowerment, as highlighted in the theme for this year’s observance, should therefore start from a heightened awareness on the importance of girl child education and empowerment. It is also important that international organizations, NGOs and other stakeholders support and invest in girls by transforming the risks and deprivations they face into pathways towards a better life. This will ensure a future assured with better health, less infant diseases and deaths as well as achieving other Sustainable Development Goals.

Abuja, Nigeria. October 2nd, 2018. An excerpt from NOIPolls’ National Survey conducted in 2017 revealed that Nigerians take pride in being citizens of Nigeria as 88 percent of the respondents surveyed declared that they were proud to be Nigerians. This is gratifying, especially in the face of ongoing agitation for secession and other critical challenges to the corporate existence of the country. Interestingly, further findings indicated that democracy and telecommunications were considered the greatest achievement Nigeria has made in its 57 years of existence. Given that nationalism is an essential component of statehood, it generally represents the deep feelings of attachment and belonging in citizens that inspire supportive attitudes and behaviours towards nationalistic symbols. One way of expressing this is the pride of being a citizen of a country. Thus, these findings call for strengthening of democracy through inclusive governance; which allows participation of Nigerians to foster unity and development in Nigeria. Nigeria’s Independence Day is celebrated annually on October 1st since 1960 and the 58th Independence Day was celebrated on October 1st 2018. Nigeria’s independence echoes the pride of citizenship which embodies the rights and duties of Nigerians or the essential for cultivating civic virtues and democratic values.[1] The nationalists who fought colonialism, nurtured expectations of political independence that would offer a sustainable path to redemption. But as it has turned out, the initial hope of independence has been squandered through bad governance. While Nigerians take in being citizens, the denial of full basic privileges of citizenship to individuals or groups for whatever reasons is usually accompanied by a drastic fall in citizens’ level of nationalism, participation, and trust in political institutions. When asked whether they were proud to be Nigerians or not, it is gratifying to note that an overwhelming majority answered in the affirmative. Overall, 88 percent of the respondents said they were proud to be Nigerians, while 12 percent felt otherwise as shown in the chart below.  There were no gender and age group differentiation in this respect as the least score across social categories was 87 percent. The geo-political distributions of the responses make it all the more interesting. Across the six geopolitical zones, the least expression of pride in being a Nigerian was expressed in the South-South, where 74 percent of respondents still expressed pride in being Nigerian. This was followed by the South-East at 81 percent, North-Central and South-West at 89 percent respectively, and North-East and North-West at 96 percent apiece. One would have expected a totally different pattern of responses from the South-East and South-South given recent increase in the pace and tone of agitations and counter agitations in these regions. The survey also gauged the perception of Nigerians regarding the greatest achievement of Nigeria since independence. In the assessment of respondents, the greatest achievements of Nigeria in its 58 years of political independence since 1960 included; democracy (19 percent), telecommunications (19 percent), agricultural development (10 percent), peace and unity (9 percent), and independence (7 percent) amongst others. It is reflective to note that 2 percent of respondents actually felt Nigeria has achieved nothing in 57 years of its independence, while another 5 percent claimed not to know Nigeria’s achievement during the same period. In conclusion, the survey is reflective of the level of optimism amongst Nigerians despite years of bad governance which has affected sustainable development. Therefore, to sustain this embedded pride, there is need for synergy in creating and nurturing a culture of inclusive governance and protection of human rights. This will significantly raise eagerness and participation towards governance, while enhancing the common pursuit for national development. For Nigeria to be really independent, she also needs to experience economic prosperity and commonwealth where the human capital indices are not on the negative. An average Nigerian should be able to pride in the Nigerian state due to continuous growth and prosperity. The country which the founding fathers fought for is a nation void of corruption, nepotism, ethno-religious and cultural divide, sentiments, crimes, militancy and insurgency. Therefore, any independent movement should be mainly concerned with the pressure of good governance, one that can deliver the dividends of democracy to its citizens. It is only within such a democratic order, predicated upon popular legitimacy, transparency, accountability and effective service delivery that the notions of citizenship and independence assume any useful meaning. Though Nigeria is faced with various socio-economic and political challenges, it is important to emphasize the need for nationalism and true federalism especially as the election year is fast approaching and the vast majority of the adult population are expected to exercise their civic responsibilities, patriotism and national unity during the general election.

Abuja, Nigeria. September 25th, 2018. The International Day of Peace is observed around the world annually on the 21st of September. According to the United Nations, the Day provides a globally shared date for all humanity to commit to Peace above all differences and to contribute to building a Culture of Peace. The UN Member States adopted 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) in 2015; and its Goal 16 is targeted at promoting peaceful and inclusive societies for sustainable development, providing access to justice for all and building effective, accountable and inclusive institutions at all levels[1]. The theme for the 2018 international Day of Peace was “The Right to Peace – The Universal Declaration of Human Rights at 70’’ signifying the 70th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Since her independence, Nigeria has been ravaged by a civil war, an insurgency and various ethno-religious crisis with the Fulani herdsmen and farmers clashes been the most recent. Peace is of paramount importance in any country especially one like Nigeria which is characterized by different ethnicities and cultural diversity. In recent years the country has been plagued by various crisis like the continued Boko Haram insurgency, farmers and herdsmen conflict, kidnapping and ritual killings which puts citizens’ right to peace in jeopardy. An excerpt from NOIPolls national survey conducted in 2017 highlighted that after over 100 years of existence and over 57 years of independence, a larger proportion of respondents (60 percent) are of the opinion that Nigeria has fared well as one nation despite periods of conflicts, while 40 percent thought otherwise. This perspective was equally shared in the same proportion by both male and female respondents. However, some little variations exist in terms of age distribution, where 62 percent, 56 percent and 61 percent of people aged 18-35, 36-60 and 61 and above felt the country has fared well as one nation during the period of its independence. In terms of geo-political distribution of responses as to whether Nigeria has fared well as one nation in its 57 years of independence, there are noticeable differences between the Northern and Southern regions. There were also some differences between urban and rural dwellers with 57 percent of the former and 64 percent of the latter agreeing that Nigeria has done well as a nation in 57 years of its independence. In conclusion, the survey revealed that most Nigerians, at the time the survey was conducted, believed that the country has fared well as one nation since independence. Therefore, it is crucial for government and all concerned stakeholders to promote peace and unity amongst Nigerians through various campaigns and programs. This year’s international day of peace (right to peace) is a wakeup call to further foster unity, peace and progress in Nigeria. Nigerians need to imbibe the culture of togetherness, cultivate the attitude of national interest, value the importance of national unity, and treasure our reputation for integrity, sovereignty, cultural diversity, natural endowment, and human resources while respecting each other’s right to peace. The right to peace is fundamental to the existence of all humans and no one should be deprived of such right and liberty. The cost of peace is always cheaper than that of war, conflict and crime. United Nations has encouraged member nations in this year’s celebration to be more proactive in order to ensure sustainable development and Nigeria is a key player in United Nation’s peace keeping efforts.

Abuja, Nigeria. September 18th, 2018 – A new public opinion poll conducted by NOIPolls has revealed that almost 7 in 10 Nigerians (68 percent) who registered since the commencement of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) exercise in April, 2017 are yet to collect their permanent voter’s card (PVC). Most people who are yet to collect their PVCs reported that they have checked but were told by INEC officials that their PVCs were not yet ready for collection. However, INEC’s Director of Publicity and Voter Education, Oluwole Osaze-Uzzi, disclosed in Abuja on May 11th 2018, that PVCs for citizens who registered between April and December 2017 have been ready for collection since May 21st, 2018.[1] Given the low collection of PVCs, 34 percent of the electorates suggested that INEC should send text messages to citizens whose PVCs are ready, recruit more ad-hoc staff (25 percent) and create more collection centers across the country (15 percent) amongst other recommendations to boost collection of PVCs. Furthermore, this also underlines the importance for INEC and other stakeholders to make concerted effort in increasing awareness on the need for electorates to collect their PVCs ahead of the 2019 elections which is just around the corner. These were some of the key highlights from the Permanent Voter’s Card Collection Poll recently conducted in the week commencing August 27th, 2018. Background The Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) which was introduced in April 2017 was an exercise meant for the registration of citizens who turned 18 years of age after the last registration exercise; or those who for one reason or another could not register in the previous exercises. The 2010 Electoral Act (as amended) mandates the Commission to carry out CVR exercises nationwide. INEC on August 28, 2018 disclosed that they have registered 13.6 million people, 854,362 people have collected their PVCs while 696,643 people have requested for transfer of their polling centers and an additional 1 million people have requested for replacement. The gender analysis of new registrants indicates that females accounted for the larger proportion of 7.3 million while males accounted for 6.2 million[3]. Despite the claim that more than 85 million Nigerians have been registered with 13 million registered under the just concluded CVR exercise, there are more than 50 million unregistered eligible voters in Nigeria[4]. In less than 6 months, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) will conduct a nationwide election that would see Nigerians, take to the polls to decide their leaders. The sensitization on how to register for and get a Permanent Voter Card (PVC) has been loud from INEC, Non-Governmental Organizations and even aspirants. However, there have been numerous complaints from Nigerians about the human-induced difficulties that have made the PVC registration and collection almost impossible for many. Against this background, NOIPOlls conducted this public opinion poll to ascertain the level of PVC collection nationwide. Poll Findings The poll gauged the percentage of Nigerians who had registered since the commencement of the CVR in April 2017 and the result indicated that almost 4 in 10 Nigerians (38 percent) have registered since the commencement of the 2017 CVR exercise while 44 percent stated that they already have a PVC, 10 percent reported that they have not registered at all while only 2 percent applied for the transfer of their PVCs. Analysis by geo-political zone showed that while the southern region accounted for the greater proportion of electorates who registered since the commencement of the CVR in April 2017, the northern region had the larger share of electorates who already have their PVCs. This increased registration in the southern region may be an effect of voter education and the growing interest amongst Nigerians regarding responsive and inclusive governance, patriotism and desire to elect responsible leaders. As at May 2018, INEC disclosed that 4 million PVCs were ready for collection for citizens who registered between April and December 2017[6] and poll result showed that only 32 percent had collected their PVCs while 68 percent have not. Analysis by age-group revealed that electorates aged 18 – 25 years have the largest proportion of Nigerians who have collected their PVCs. This is reflective of the growing desire for youth participation in politics and governance in Nigerians. A cross analysis of electorates who registered since the commencement of CVR exercise and those who have collected their PVCs indicate that a higher percentage of Nigerians are yet to collect their PVCs. Subsequently, 68 percent of respondents who have not collected their PVCs were further asked why they have not collected it and a larger proportion of the respondents mentioned that they checked but were told that it wasn’t ready yet. 23 percent stated that they the collection centers were over crowded, 14 percent disclosed that they just registered while 13 percent mentioned that they do not have spare time for collecting their PVCs amongst other reasons. The poll further assessed the perception of the respondents regarding their knowledge of anyone who registered within the same period and have collected their PVC. FindingS revealed that 55 percent of the respondents know a registrant who registered within the same period and has collected their PVCs. Furthermore, having established from the poll results that a larger proportion of Nigerians are yet to collect their PVCs, the poll also revealed that 34 percent of Nigerians recommended that INEC should send text messages to electorates whose PVCs are ready. An additional 23 percent cited the recruitment of more ad-hoc staff INEC, 15 percent stated that INEC should provide more centers for PVC collection while, 13 percent advocated that INEC should create more awareness on PVC collection centers amongst other recommendations. In conclusion, the poll has shown that a larger proportion of electorates who participated in the CVR which commenced in April, 2017 are yet to collect their PVCs. In order not to disenfranchise those who have registered, INEC and other concerned stakeholders are encouraged to create more awareness on PVC collection as well as send text messages to citizens whose PVCs are ready for collection as recommended by some the electorates. Citizens on their part should ensure that they participate in electoral processes by collecting their PVCs to enable them exercise their civic duties. The poll also revealed that a significant proportion (10 percent) of potential voters did not register hence, will not participate in the 2019 general elections. This calls for more proactive measures on INEC’s part and other stakeholders towards ensuring that every Nigerian aged 18 year and above prior to any election year be registered. Finally, INEC should ensure that the collection processes and timing are more effective and convenient for all citizens. Survey Methods The Poll was conducted in the week commencing August 27th, 2018. It involved telephone interviews of a random nationwide sample. 1,000 randomly selected phone-owning Nigerians aged 18 years and above, representing the six geopolitical zones in the country, were interviewed. With a sample of this size, we can say with 95% confidence that the results obtained are statistically precise – within a range of plus or minus 4.65%.
