The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has expressed concern about how best to protect the electoral process in 2023. INEC Chairman, Professor Mahmood Yakubu, assured the nation that the commission would focus on the best way to secure the process in the most professional way. He praised security agencies for protecting recent elections and the commission's facilities against "malicious" attacks. The CVR exercise has now entered its third quarter, and the commission is looking forward to activating the additional 1,862 centres nationwide to make it easier for citizens to exercise their right to register as voters. This meeting will review the security situation to activate 2,673 registration centres nationwide.
