The SMAG project seeks to explore the impact of social media on the April 2011 elections in Nigeria focusing specifically on the Presidential elections as a case study and Twitter as the social media tool.
Nigeria held her 2011 elections in April 2011, with the National Assembly elections on the 9th, the Presidential on the 16th and the Governorship and State House of Assembly elections on the 26th. The country ‘officially’ utilized social media tools for the elections for the first in its political history and this project is centered on that.
You are invited to join the #SMAG conference on Twitter on the 5th of August 2011, starting at noon and running till 4pm. It is your platform to express your views on the elections as enhanced/derailed by social media, and make projections for future use.
The more we are, the more fruitful and far reaching the discussion! Have your say!
Date: 5th August (Friday)
Venue: Twitter!
Time: Noon
