Over eight million young Nigerians completed the recently concluded Continuous Voter Registration exercise, the Independent National Electoral Commission announced on Monday.
The youth demography has been touted as a major deciding factor in the upcoming elections and INEC’s figures seems to back the theory.

Of these, 8,784,677 were composed of young people, the commission said.
