‘Made in Nigeria’ voting machines for 2015 election
The Independent National Electoral commission has spent about N34.4 billion on importation of 132,000 units of data capturing machine for the 2011 voter registration exercise but Mohammed Abubakar, Minister of Science and Technology said Nigeria may not have to spend that much again on elections as local technologies for the same purpose are now available. Mr Abubakar said that “the electronic voting machine developed by the Nigeria Communication Satellite Limited, NIGCOMSAT, can assist the nation in biometric registration for election” and that by 2015 it will be ready for use at the election. - 234next.

Why didn't they think of this before doling out billions to Jaga Jaga Jega? When the time comes, they will say something else.
Medicine after death. Why did they produce or invent or discover this before the current voter registration exercise. A face saving statement.
