The Independent National Electoral Commission,INEC will ensure adequate security is provided for election personnel, materials and processes ahead of the 2023 General Elections.
Its National Commissioner and Chairman of the Board of the Electoral Institute, Professor Abdullahi Zuru made this known at the opening of a two day Validation Workshop of Election Security Training Resources, in Abuja.
According to him, the Commission is taking Electoral security seriously because of safety challenges in parts of the country and the fact that National Youth Service Corps Members constitute the core of the Polling Unit Election Officials.
He warned that if the challenge of insecurity is not urgently addressed, it could ultimately culminate in the cancellation or postponement of elections in sufficient constituencies to hinder declaration of election results and precipitate a constitutional crisis.
