150 Supervisors Threaten Boycott Of Polls In Nasarawa by bandol(m): 6:36am On Feb 18, 2015
N16,500 is too small in the first instance for 6days (out of place of residence) training not to talk of short changing them again. Why won't they be enticed by the politicians
The 150 staff engaged by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in Nasarawa State to serve as supervisors during the forthcoming general elections have threatened to boycott the exercise alleging that they were short-changed.
  Some of the supervisors, who spoke with Daily Trust yesterday alleged that INEC approved the sum of N16,500 per supervisor, but they were paid N12,000 instead.

 “INEC approved N16,500 per supervisor, but what they paid us was N12,000 only,” one of the supervisors who craved anonymity said.
 He said they spent three days in Lafia, for the training, from where they proceeded to the local government areas to train Presiding Officers (POs) for three days.
When contacted, spokesman of INEC in the state, Ibrahim Abdullahi, said he contacted the training officer, who denied that the commission was supposed to pay the supervisors the sum of N16,500 each. He, however, declined to state how much each person was supposed to receive, saying officers at the operations, and accounts departments who could reveal such information were not around.
He also declined to comment on threats by the supervisors to boycott the elections
