participation for all voters, the commission has a huge burden to ensure that BVAS will work on election day in all the 176,846 polling units across the country, as well as the efficient electronic transmission of results from the polling units.
The secretary-general of the Catholic Secretariat of Nigeria , Very Rev. Fr. Zacharia Nyantiso Samjumi, who spoke on behalf of the bishops in the 2023 media parley with the CSN community in Abuja yesterday, said if that is done, it will engender transparency and ensure trust in the electoral process.

The bishops said: “Furthermore, it has been discovered that multiple registrations happened alongside willful and incorrect entries of voters’ information; we implore the Commission to ensure that the necessary due diligence is observed in the accurate documentation and cleaning up the voters’ register.
