Months after the end of the exercise, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) commenced a review of the deployment of personnel and materials used during the 2023 general elections.
This was disclosed by the INEC chairman, Professor Mahmood Yakubu, at the post-election review meeting with electoral officers in Abuja on Wednesday.
He added that the commission had invited transport providers to review logistic arrangements before, during, and after the elections.
He said:
“Today, we have begun a more focused engagement at the national level with the commission’s frontline officials and the Electoral Officers. We also considered it appropriate to interface with transport providers to review logistic arrangements.
“We invited the leadership of the National Union of Road Transport Workers, the National Association of Road Transport Owners, and the Maritime Workers Union of Nigeria.”
According to him, the success of any election depends on the ability to deploy personnel and materials to various locations.
Yakubu noted that the country’s vast terrain and complex topography often present challenges to INEC, which, he said, are now compounded by infrastructure issues and insecurity.
