EU spends €100m on Nigeria’s elections

The European Union on Saturday said it had spent over €100m since 1999 to date to ensure free and transparent election processes in Nigeria.

The Electoral Administration and Communications Expert in European Centre for Electoral Support, Manji Wilson, who spoke on the issue, said despite the donations, the EU did not have any special interest in any candidate of any political party.

According to him, the EU has also offered support in other areas of human endeavours such as health, education, justice, human trafficking and irregular migration.
