Gabriel Longpet, INEC’s Resident Electoral Commissioner , said the commission has recruited over 15,000 ad-hoc staff to help in the smooth conduct of the polls, the News Agency of Nigeria is reporting.
“We shall deploy more staff and BVAS in densely populated polling units to complement those we are going to use.“This is because some polling units have more than 1,000 to 2,000 registered voters, and we have to split the number by creating more voting points for easy voting.“As soon as there is a report of any BVAS failure or challenge, we shall provide another one and configure it to that polling unit for smooth continuation of voting,” he said.
Mr Longpet further explained that the BVAS had been deployed to the 21 local government areas in the state in readiness for the election. On security, the commissioner said security operatives will take care of flash points for a hitch-free election in the areas.
