A Message
from the Chairperson
We
shall work hard to ensure the conduct of free, fair and acceptable
Local Government Council General Elections. We shall uphold our
integrity and credibility and ensure transparency in all our activities.
We pray that SIECs would continue to maintain their independence
especially financial independence.
INEC
and SIECs have constitutional role to play as clearly outline the
1999 constitution, the idea of integrating the 2 bodies is a not
a constitutional development and therefore should be discarded.
