Jigawa State has recorded the highest number of registrants in Phase II of the ongoing voter registration exercise, according to officials overseeing the process. The development shows strong public interest in electoral participation across the state. Many residents reportedly turned out early to complete their registration.
The Independent National Electoral Commission said the turnout reflects improved awareness campaigns and better access to registration centres. Officials noted that the commission has expanded its outreach to rural communities to ensure more eligible citizens are captured.
Observers believe the high figures may influence political engagement ahead of future elections. Analysts say increased registration often signals growing confidence in democratic processes and a desire among citizens to shape leadership through voting.
INEC encouraged other states to emulate the momentum seen in Jigawa by mobilising residents who have not yet registered. The commission added that the exercise remains open and urged Nigerians to take advantage before the deadline.
