The Independent National Electoral Commission, (INEC) says it has trained and briefed security agencies on its mode of operation as part of efforts to ensure there’s no hitch in the conduct of the upcoming governorship election in Ondo State.
According to its Commissioner, Mrs Babalola, over 30,000 security personnel have been trained and deployed for the election, slated for today, Saturday.
“The security agencies have given us assurance. We trained them on the need to be professional and the need to be committed to the job they engage in. We also taught them our process. You know, when you don’t know someone else’s process, some things you think maybe right, some things you think maybe wrong. So, we have trained them, and they have cascaded this training to their commands”, she stated.
Mrs. Babalola also noted that the Commission is activating the Registration Area Centres (RACs) earlier than usual, to ensure early deployment of voting materials to the polling units.
She assured electorates that voting materials would be deployed to the voting points on time.
