ENGAGING THE POLITICAL SPACE PROF. YEMI OSINBAJO SAN

POLITICS FOR POWER OR SERVICE? SERIOUS QUESTION BECAUSE IF IT FOR SERVICE THEN WHAT ARE YOUR SERVICE TO COMMUNITY ANTECEDENTS? WHAT ARE THE ISSUES OF GOVERNANCE YOU HAVE STUDIED OR ARE ACTIVE IN? WHAT WILL YOU DO IF TOMMOROW YOU WERE APPOINTED MINISTER OF EDUCATION?

GETTING INVOLVED SOME FRONT BURNER ISSUES TODAY ARE: HOW TO HOLD CREDIBLE ELECTIONS; VOTERS REGISTRATION CORRUPTION POWER EDUCATION HEALTH BUT LETS TAKE ONE EXAMPLE THE VOTERS REGISTER

REGISTRATION OF VOTERS COMPREHENSIVE AND ACCURATE VOTERS REGISTER IS THE IRREDUCIBLE FOUNDATION OF FREE AND FAIR ELECTION VOTERS REGISTRY IS THE SYSTEM FOR COMPILING THE REGISTER THE REGISTRY MUST BE CAPABLE OF COMPILING INFORMATION ON : VOTER’S BIODATA BIOMETRICS DIGITAL FACIAL PICTURES

INEC’S CURRENT REGISTER SEVERELY DEFECTIVE MISSING REGISTRATION DATA MULTIPLE REGISTRATION GHOST REGISTRATION UNDER AGE REGISTRATION

THREE MAIN AREAS OF TECHNICAL DEFICIENCY THE INDEXING SYSTEM BIOMETRICS REGISTER DATA BASE SECURITY

THE PROBLEM PROPRIETARY SOFTWARE SUPPLIED BY CANADIAN COY WAS ILLEGALLY CLONED/PIRATED BY INEC AND USED IN THE FIELD DATA COLLECTION DEVICES. THE ILLEGAL CLONING WAS UNSUCCESSFUL IN COPYING CERTAIN VITAL SUB-ROUTINES WHICH VENDOR APPARENTLY INSERTED TO PROTECT VITAL LOGIC FOR PROPRIETARY PURPOSES WHEN DATA FROM THE DELIVERED DEVICES(THOSE USING GENUINE SOFTWARE) AND CLONED DEVICES WERE DOWN-LOADED INTO THE SAME SYSTEM THE RESULT IS THE CONFUSION EXPERIENCED.

BESIDES THE CLONED APPLICATIONS LACKED A KEY GENERATOR. THE ALGORITHM FOR GENERATING THE KEY WAS NOT CLONEABLE. SINCE INEC COULD NOT CLONE THE KEY GENERATOR THEY DEVELOPED ONE. THUS TWO METHODS OF KEY GENERATION WERE INTRODUCED INTO THE SYSTEM.

INDEXING PROBLEMS 120,000 POLLING UNITS (PU) IN THE COUNTRY. EACH ONE SHOULD BE UNIQUELY IDENTIFIED. REGISTRATION OFFICIALS DID NOT CHANGE PU NOS IN MANY CASES. SOMETIMES UP TO 50% OF VOTERS IN A STATE REGISTERED WITH THE SAME PU THIS MASSIVE FAILURE OF THE INDEXING SYSTEM CONTRIBUTED SIGNIFICANTLY TO THE DUPLICATIONS, ADDITIONS, AND OTHER FALSE DATA.

BIOMETRICS CAPTURE OF BIOMETRIC DATA FAULTY. THE DIRECT DATA CAPTURE SYSTEM USED BY INEC REQUIRED THAT THE STANDARD QUALITY OF FINGERPRINTS OBTAINED FROM VOTERS BE SET AT 95% TO ELIMINATE MULTIPLE REGISTRATION INEC HAD A PROBLEM COLLECTING FINGERPRINTS AT 95% ON THE SENSORS USED. INEC THEN DROPPED THRESHOLD SO LOW THAT MATCHING IMPOSSIBLE.

WHAT TO DO HAVING UNDERSTOOD THE PROBLEM WE MUST INSIST ON GETTING VOTER REGISTRATION RIGHT. OTHERWISE ANOTHER ELECTION MEANINGLESS
