INEC to Deploy Drones for Election Security
Professor Joash Ojo Amupitan, the newly confirmed Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), has pledged to utilize modern technologies, including drones, to safeguard sensitive election materials.
Under his leadership, elections would be credible enough for losers to congratulate winners in good faith.
Amupitan made this statement during his screening before the Senate, which confirmed his appointment after a three-hour session with no objections raised.
- He succeeds Professor Mahmood Yakubu, who served as INEC Chairman for ten years.
- The confirmation was presided over by Senate President Godswill Akpabio via a voice vote.
