INEC Chairman Amupitan Faces Challenges in Restoring Trust Amid Skepticism

Professor Joash Ojo Amupitan, the new Chairman of INEC, has pledged to restore trust and ethics in Nigeria's electoral process. However, challenges lie ahead as stakeholders like Lanre Arogundade from IPC and Okechukwu Nwanguma from RULAAC express concerns about capacity, funding, and the need to address systemic weaknesses.
