INEC Trains 204 Staff for Ondo Governorship Election

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has trained 204 staff for the upcoming Ondo State Governorship election scheduled to hold on October 10, 2020.

According to a statement by the INEC National Commissioner and Chairman, Information and Voter Education Committee, Festus Okoye, the training was aimed at equipping the staff with the necessary skills and knowledge to conduct a free, fair, and credible election.

The training, which took place at the INEC headquarters in Abuja, covered various aspects of election management, including voter registration, voting procedures, and the use of technology in the electoral process.

Okoye said the training was part of the commission's efforts to ensure that the Ondo State Governorship election is conducted in accordance with the Electoral Act and the commission's guidelines.

"We are committed to conducting a peaceful, free, and fair election in Ondo State," Okoye said. "We have trained our staff to ensure that they are equipped to handle any situation that may arise during the election."

The Ondo State Governorship election is expected to be a closely contested poll, with several candidates vying for the governorship seat. The election is seen as a crucial test of the commission's ability to conduct a credible election in the face of various challenges, including the COVID-19 pandemic.

INEC has assured Nigerians that it is taking all necessary measures to ensure the safety and security of voters, election officials, and other stakeholders during the election.

The commission has also deployed various technologies, including the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS) and the Smart Card Reader, to enhance the efficiency and transparency of the electoral process.

With the training of its staff now complete, INEC is set to conduct a successful and peaceful election in Ondo State on October 10, 2020.
