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.

When sleep forsook my open eye, Who was it sung sweet hushaby, And rock’d me that I should not cry? My Mother. Who sat and watched my infant head, When sleeping in my cradle bed, And tears of sweet affection shed? My Mother. When pain and sickness made me cry, Who gazed upon my heavy eye, And wept for fear that I should die? My Mother. Who dress’d my doll in clothes so gay, And taught me pretty how to play. And minded all I had to say? My Mother. Who taught my infant lips to pray, And love God’s holy book and day. And walk in Wisdom’s pleasant way? My Mother. And can I ever cease to be Affectionate and kind to thee, Who was so very kind to me? My Mother. Ah, no! the thought I cannot bear; And if God please my life to spare, I hope I shall reward thy care, My Mother. Who ran to help me when I fell, And w...
