It seeks to enhance public understanding and awareness of electoral reforms and compile citizen-derived recommendations ahead of future elections in Nigeria.

In a statement, Nwagwu said: “#ElectoralReformHour will air every Sunday from 7:30 pm to 8:30 pm on Capital FM 92.9 Abuja, and all FRCN stations nationwide. The program will feature stakeholders from election management bodies, State and National Assemblies, civil society organizations, the Nigeria Bar Association, the Nigeria Political Science Association, and many others.

“The maiden edition of the radio program will be aired on the 9th of June 2024 with Professor Mahmood Yakubu, chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), as a guest.

“The program’s wide reach ensures that citizens across Nigeria will have access to crucial information about the ongoing electoral reform in the country. Listeners are encouraged to call in, share their experiences, and ask questions during the program.”
