Speaking at a 2-day capacity building workshop in Abuja, for all State Commandants and Corps’ strategic managers ahead of the 2023 general election, the Comptroller General of the NSCDC, said his agency would ensure that voters, domestic observers, election sensitive materials and electoral officers’ safety and security were well coordinated.
He added: “We must protect INEC offices nationwide. We must give both physical support and otherwise to all the INEC offices in our care. We will not take it lightly if we hear of any attack on INEC facilities around your command again. “It is my earnest expectation that this workshop will further strengthen our capacity in our preparations ahead of the general elections, build our confidence as strategic commanders, while ensuring that voters, domestic observers, election sensitive materials and electoral officers’ safety and security are well coordinated.”
In her welcome address, the Country Representative of the Konrad Adenauer Stiftung , Mariga Peran, said the present fear for safety amid the rate of attacks on lives and property across the country posed significant threat to the success of the 2023 general election, compounded by several security-relevant incidents last year, such as the series of prison breaks and successful release of terrorists around the country.
