INEC Trains Supervisors for 2027 Election Operations

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has commenced a training program for state coordinating supervisors of the Electoral Operations Support Centre (EOSC) in preparation for the 2027 General Election. This initiative, organized by INEC's Electoral Operations Department, aims to improve the speed and accuracy of electoral incident reporting and strengthen the supervisors' capacity to coordinate EOSC activities.

Jibril Mohammed, Deputy Director of Operations, represented Isa Magaji, the Director of Electoral Operations, during the training. He emphasized the importance of building teams capable of providing timely operational support and urged supervisors to ensure effective knowledge transfer to state-level personnel.

Mohammed highlighted that every report is critical and involves various electoral stakeholders, stressing the need for accuracy and timeliness in reporting. He encouraged participants to engage actively in the training and to treat field officers with respect, especially under pressure.

The training is expected to enhance understanding of EOSC responsibilities, reporting procedures, and incident management.
