“An Election Can Only Be As Good As Its Logistics” – INEC To NURTW

Prof. Joash Amupitan

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has warned transport unions saddled with delivery of the logistics for Saturday’s Federal Capital Territory (FCT) area council elections to adhere strictly to the agreed arrangements. INEC Chairman, Prof. Joash Amupitan, recently had his say at a meeting with leaders of transport unions in Abuja ahead of the elections.

According to him, transport logistics are the backbone of electoral operations, and the success of the elections would depend largely on the timely and efficient movement of materials and personnel across the six area councils of the FCT.

He said that the commission would not tolerate excuses that could undermine the process.

His words, “An election can only be as good as its logistics.

Our target is for voting to commence at 8.30 a.m. For that to happen, materials must arrive at polling units by 7 a.m. or 7.30 a.m., which means that vehicles must depart RACs as early as 6 a.m.”
