Young Nigerians have praised the ‘Go Out & Vote Now (GOVN)’ initiative which involved them in the coverage of the 2023 Presidential and National Assembly Elections held on February 25th.

In the build-up to the elections, Sahara Media Foundation in partnership with Civic Media Lab and Accountability Lab Nigeria engaged citizen journalists and student observers to raise youth voices and cover the most important polls in the history of the country.

Under the partnership, trained reporters, student journalists and observers were deployed across the country to promote increased youth participation and report the conduct of the elections in their locality.
