Tech giant, Google, has set up a new portal called the Nigeria Elections Trends Hub, to provide a platform for Nigerians to search and discover trending interests related to the upcoming general elections.
The page, which can be accessed on the Google Trends website, allows users to compare the search popularity of the presidential candidates and trending questions being asked about them.
The portal features maps and graphs displaying the search interest for the candidates over 30 days.
Broader initiative: Google said the Election Hub is a part of a broader initiative to support the 2023 elections, which also includes training for new and media publishers on how to effectively use YouTube to tell election stories and training from the Google News Lab to help journalists learn how to use search and other Google tools for better storytelling, including data visualisation, verification and fact-checking.
Speaking on the initiative, Google’s Communications and Public Affairs Manager for West Africa, Taiwo Kola-Ogunlade, said:
