INEC Workshop Focuses on Electoral Integrity and Trust
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) Chairman, Prof. Joash Amupitan, stated that compromised elections erode public trust, which can lead to national suffering. He made this declaration at the opening of a two-day anti-corruption education and sensitization workshop for INEC staff in Abuja.
The workshop, themed "Corruption-Free Elections: Integrity Matters," was facilitated by the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC). Mr. Mai Agbamuch Mbu, a commissioner at INEC, highlighted the foundational role of elections in democracy and encouraged participants to engage actively during the sessions.
ICPC's Mr. Henri Emor noted that corruption is a significant barrier to development in the 21st century and emphasized the need for collective action to ensure free and fair elections. The workshop aimed to build capacity and share best practices among electoral officers, reinforcing the commitment to conduct transparent elections in Nigeria, especially with the upcoming 2027 general elections.
