The 2025 ANEC, themed “Democratic Governance and National Cohesion: The Role of Editors,” will feature a sub-theme, “Electoral Integrity and Trust Deficit: What Nigerians Expect in 2027.”
Among the scheduled speakers are Prof. Awa Kalu (SAN), who will deliver a paper on “Election Disputes and Judicial Integrity: Navigating the Thin Line Between Law and Politics,” and Prof. Sheriff Ghali Ibrahim of the University of Abuja, who will speak on “State of the Nation: Imperative of Economic and Political Reforms in a Challenged Nation.”
