INEC-N305bn Required To Conduct 2023 Elections

On Monday 20th December, 2021, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), through its Chairman, Professor Mahmood Yakubu says the commission will require N305 billion to conduct the 2023 general elections.

The INEC Boss, made this known in a statement during a meeting with the Senate Committee on Appropriation at the National Assembly.

This amount will facilitate the electoral process by aiding the commission to prepare for the election.

It will go a long way to assist in the purchase of all the election materials needed and also cover several bye-elections across the country.

The INEC Chairman noted however that the commission has already received N100 billion out of the required amount for the elections.

The National Assembly is yet to receive a letter from President Muhammad Buhari on his decision to give or withdraw his assent to the Electoral Act Amendment Bill.

The 30-day deadline stipulated by the constitution for the President to respond to the bill expired on Sunday, December 19.

Senator Jibrin Barau, the Chairman of the Senate Committee on Appropriation, disclosed that the 2022 budget will be laid, debated, and passed on Tuesday, December 21.

The National Assembly is scheduled to go on recess for its Christmas and New Year holidays from Tuesday December 21.
