The yet-to-be confirmed chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission INEC, Professor Joash Amupitan has pledged to ensure that logistics during elections are reviewed.
Amupitan spoke on Thursday while answering questions during his screening at the Senate.
He lamented that some vehicles transport sensitive materials during elections are in bad shapes.
Amupitan recalled that in 2023 when his wife served as a collation officer, they resorted to the use of a generator due to power failure.
“My wife was a coalition officer, we had to provide a generator because there was no light”, he said.
Etimes247 reports that Bola Tinubu on October 9, during the last National Council of State meeting, unveiled Amupitan and new INEC Chairman.
His nomination by the president followed Professor Mahmood Yakubu’s exit after he completed his two terms.
Tinubu in a letter read by the Senate President Godswill Akpabio during plenary on October 14, officially requested the Senate to confirm Amupitan.
