“I can tell you that the commission has made 142 recommendations on the improvement of the electoral process in Nigeria.“The reforms are categorised; the majority are for implementation by administrative action by INEC, but some are to be implemented by security agencies.PREMIUM TIMES delivers fact-based journalism for Nigerians, by Nigerians — and our community of supporters, the readers who donate, make our work possible.

He said that since the inauguration of the National and State Assembly in 2023, INEC had conducted nine by-elections and still had to conduct five by-elections before the 2027 general elections. “In March 2022, we had an induction retreat for new national commissioners, followed by another one on election logistics in October and then another retreat for new RECs in November.“Today, we are holding another retreat to induct ten new RECs: nine of them were sworn in on 12 December 2023, and one of them on Jan. 30, 2024,” Mr Yakubu said.

“Since the election is a process governed by law, we also plan to intensify our engagement with the National Assembly for activities that require legal reform,” he said. Mr Yakubu said the experience should also cover voter registration, allotting voters to polling units, and the role of technology from pre-election activities to election day processes.

Mr Yakubu expressed the commission’s appreciation to the Development Associates Inc. and the International Foundation for Electoral Systems for supporting the retreat and many other activities of the commission. Mr Salami, a professor, said that electoral activities globally remained big tasks that required uprightness, integrity and diligence.
