BRIDGE Workshop to Strengthen Electoral Preparedness in Nigeria

Nouvelle Perspective Nigeria, in collaboration with Forensic Guard Nigeria, is set to host a pivotal modular workshop titled Introduction to Electoral Administration from Sunday, November 2nd to Monday, November 3rd, 2025.

This two-day event comes at a critical moment in Nigeria’s pre-electoral period, as outlined in the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC)’s 2025–2026 electoral agenda. With preparations underway for upcoming elections, the workshop aims to build capacity among civil society organizations and Electoral Management Body (EMB) members, equipping them with the tools and knowledge to uphold electoral integrity.

The workshop introduces participants to the globally acclaimed BRIDGE (Building Resources in Democracy, Governance and Elections) methodology, emphasizing participatory learning, transparency, and professionalism in electoral processes.

Key Objectives:

1. Introduce the BRIDGE methodology and its principles.
2. Strengthen understanding of electoral systems and legal frameworks.
3. Promote collaboration between civil society and EMBs.
4. Build capacity for ethical and accountable electoral practices.
5. Encourage critical thinking and problem-solving in electoral contexts.

This initiative reinforces Nigeria’s commitment to credible and inclusive elections.
