Kukah Centre Opens Applications for Election Security Risk Observers in Nigeria
The Kukah Centre has opened applications for qualified Nigerians interested in serving as Election Security Risk Observers (ESRO) under its election security monitoring initiative.
The engagement is scheduled to run from October 2026 to March 2027, providing successful applicants with an opportunity to participate in election-related monitoring and contribute to efforts aimed at promoting peaceful and credible electoral processes in Nigeria.
The programme is expected to involve observing and documenting election security risks, developments and incidents that could affect the safety of voters, communities and other stakeholders during the electoral period.
Selected Election Security Risk Observers are expected to support the identification and monitoring of potential security threats associated with elections.
Their responsibilities may include gathering relevant information from communities, observing emerging risks, documenting incidents and reporting findings through the appropriate channels.
The role can provide participants with practical exposure to election monitoring, conflict prevention, community engagement and security-risk assessment.
For applicants interested in governance, democracy, peacebuilding, elections, journalism, civil society or community development, the opportunity may also offer useful experience in the field.
The opportunity is open to qualified candidates in Nigeria who meet the requirements set by the Kukah Centre.
Interested applicants should carefully review the official application information to confirm eligibility, responsibilities and any other requirements before submitting their applications.
Applicants should also ensure that the information provided during registration is accurate and complete.

Successful candidates are expected to participate during the designated period and carry out responsibilities assigned under the programme.
Qualified candidates interested in the Election Security Risk Observers opportunity should submit their applications through the official Kukah Centre application channel.
Applicants are advised to rely on information published by the Kukah Centre and avoid unofficial platforms requesting money or sensitive personal information in connection with the recruitment.
As applications are currently open, interested candidates should review the official requirements and submit their applications as soon as possible.
The Election Security Risk Observers programme comes at a time when election security and peaceful participation remain important issues in Nigeria.
