Vice-Chancellor of the University of Ibadan, Prof. Idowu Olayinka, is the 12th substantive vice-chancellor of the premier university. He is also a member of Council of the Nigerian Mining and Geosciences Society and was Chairman of Awards Committee of the society between 2007 and 2012. He is a peer reviewer of European Journal of Environmental and Engineering Geophysics/Near-Surface Geophysics. Olayinka was the returning officer in Ogun State during the recently concluded general elections.

The second level is at the registration area level. What is done here is to collate all the results from the various polling units in the ward. There are many logistic problems associated with elections in a country as big as Nigeria in terms of the physical size and difficult terrains especially in the riverside areas which may not be accessible by road. INEC would ordinarily be expected to be extra careful with the distribution of sensitive materials so that they do not get into wrong hands who may have other sinister motives. I understand that INEC has just about 16,000 workers nationwide.

For a governorship election, the winner is expected to score at least one-quarter of the votes in the two-thirds of the local government areas. For the presidential election, for which the entire country is the constituency, the winner is expected to score at least one-quarter of the votes in at least 24 states, representing two-thirds of the 36 states.

Electronic voting has been said to be a solution to rigging, logistic problem and other issues. Is Nigeria ripe for it?
