    The acting chairman of the Commission, Adamu Ibrahim disclosed this to newsmen in his office.

    He said the commission had earlier planned to use the card reader but the lack of trained staff to will handle the equipment and enough time hindered the commission’s plan.

    InfoStride News reported that the Jigawa State Independent Electoral Commission had fixed 26th June 2021 for the conduct of Local Government elections in the state.

    Adamu reiterated the commission’s commitment to conduct free and fair elections, without disenfranchising any eligible voter irrespective of whether card reader is used or not.
