Introduction of technology in elections inevitable, but must be done with trust – INEC

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), National Commissioner, Professor Okechukwu Ibeanu believes that the introduction of technology in elections in Nigeria is inevitable, but it must be done along with trust.

Ibeanu said this in his opening remark at the presentation of the 2019 elections report by the Commission.

He highlighted the importance of the document presented by the INEC chairman, which was about five hundred pages.

According to him, the report represents INEC’s own narratives of its activities and a sense of accountability, especially as it relates to the 2019 general elections.

He stated that some of the lessons contained therein included the fact that elections in Nigeria have been too serious, adding that they should not be left only in the hands of INEC.
