Speaking at the event, Okoye pointed out that since youths possess numerical strength, they need to come together and take their destiny into their own hands.
Speaking further, the commissioner stated that INEC will do “whatever it takes to make sure youths have an inclusive voice in the electoral process”.
“We’ll continue to broaden the frontiers of the electoral process using technology to make sure no segment of our population is left behind in terms of political participation,” he added.
