The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has said it is prepared for the conduct of the forthcoming general election.
Prof. Mahmood Yakubu gave the assurance recently.
Yakubu mentioned the commission is putting finishing touches to the preparations right now.
“All heavy items for the election are being procured; additional ballot boxes, voting cubicles, replacement of card readers, and Permanent Voters’ Cards (PVCs) have also been delivered to states for collection by the electorate.
“We have concluded and published the guidelines for the general election. We have finalised the manual for election which will be used for training of various staff.
“We are recruiting and we will soon start training of ad hoc staff for the election. We are good to go for general election,’’ he said.
Yakubu guarantees that the commission is not going to let the nation and the international community doown in the conduct of the election.
“The election will be credible; we will guide the process and ensure that it lead to the outcome that all Nigerians expect. Nothing, but free, far and credible election,’’ he said.
