INEC to drop negligent staff in March 11 elections
The Independent National Electoral Commission says it is committed to working harder to overcome the challenges experienced in the last election.
The chairman, Professor Mahmood Yakubu says nothing else will be acceptable to Nigerians.
He also said all staff found to be negligent, whether they are regular or ad hoc officials, including Collation and Returning Officers, must not be involved in forthcoming elections.
Mahmood stated this when he met with resident Electoral Commissioners for the third time in less than 2 months to finetune preparations ahead of the Governorship election.
Professor Mahmood Yakubu says the commission has received reports from its State offices, as well as complaints and petitions from political parties and candidates.
He insists where infractions of any kind are proven, there will be redress, and any action taken by the Commission is without prejudice to the rights of parties and candidates to seek further remedy as provided by law.
