SBM deployed 185 researchers across all 37 states and Abuja. As at 1100 hours on election day, 60% of our researchers reported late arrival of voting materials. Turnout looks to be high, and we have only four isolated reports of violence, in Edo, Kogi, Taraba and Yobe States.

For the first time since the 1960s, there are 3 competitive political blocs largely along the old regional divides. Hence the latest survey, which was commissioned by @EiENigeria and conducted by @sbmintelligence , did not provide us with a clear front-runner.

Nigeria is now the country with the highest number of children, age 0 to 14, out of school. These numbers vary from state to state, and as a result, the problem is worse in some states than in others.
