     VOA Presents: Nigeria Decides - 2015 Elections and Security Challenges

   Ahead of Nigeria's February 14 presidential election, the Voice of
   America will present a panel discussion on security challenges facing
   that country.

   Boko Haram's five-year insurgency has intensified in the past year, and
   the government's handling of the security situation has become a major
   issue in the election campaign, which pits incumbent Goodluck Jonathan
   against former military ruler Muhammadu Buhari.

   The panel discussion will take place Feb. 5 at 1630 UTC and will be
   streamed live on www.VOANews.com and www.VOAHausa.com.

   The invited participants include:

   Representative Karen Bass, (D-CA) who serves on the House Committee on
   Foreign Affairs and is the Ranking Member of the Subcommittee on
   Africa, Global Health, Global Human Rights and International
   Organizations.

   Adebowale Ibidapo Adefuye, Nigeria's Ambassador to the U.S.
   Steve Schwartz, Director of Nigerian Policy and Operations Group at the
   U.S. Department of State
   John Momoh, Chairman and managing editor of Nigeria's Channels TV
   Aminu Gamawa, Legal and Conflict Resolution Consultant
