INEC Boss wants additional N6.6billion for Voters Registration

Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) Chairman, Attahiru Jega, two days ago Wednesday Jan 26 requested an additional N6.6 billion to complete voter registration, in disregard of the warning issued by the National Assembly (NASS) November last year for him not come back for more funds.

The INEC already got N87 billion for the entire election process, including voter registration.

Jega said that the fresh funds would address four pressing challenges: personnel (two), transportation, and consummables. He also said the INEC registered only 28.5 million voters by January 22 out of the estimated 65, 783,046 million.

Wonder shall never end!
