The Chairman, Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Prof. Attahiru Jega, on Monday reviewed his tenure as the boss of the electoral body and concluded that his only regret was that he was to a separate salary for INEC workers.
Jega spoke in Abuja during a retreat titled, “2015 general : Lessons and the way forward.” which was organised for the electoral officers of the commission where the report of the 2015 elections was reviewed.
He said apart from the special salary issue, the commission under his leadership performed well.
He said,

“We have done our best as a commission under very difficult circumstances and the major regret as I have acknowledged is that a major undertaking we made when we first resumed at the commission is to have a separate salary structure for the members of staff of the commission but we have not been able to achieve this

“And obviously this is one area where we still have to do a lot of work and put in a lot of efforts as we move towards the future and to improve.

“But apart from that, I don’t think we have done badly in terms of promoting the welfare and the wellbeing of the members of staff.

“We have ensured that salaries were paid regularly, we have ensured that there are a lot of opportunities for self improvement through the organisation of seminar and shop with our partners.”

“Again as I said, we could not have satisfied the expectations of everybody, we believe that we have done our best. I must say that not all of you are happy with some of the measures that we have introduced as a commission.

“The restructuring and reorganisation certainly could not have satisfied everybody because it required trimming down the size of the commission and also redefining schedule of responsibilities and putting square pegs in square holes as we called it at that time.”

Jega, who had insisted that he would leave INEC after the expiration of his tenure, said that the 2015 general elections were better than those of 2011.
He added that there was a lot of room for improvement and that as the country prepares for future elections, the commission must begin to reflect on what areas of further reforms it should focus its attention on - See more at: http://www.exlinklodge.com/2015/06/my-worst-regret-as-inec-chairman-prof.html#sthash.p4tS17wY.dpuf

Jega to Jonathan, I've taken your virginity,you're mine forever

.

Intelligent man though, these are pple that should be president sef. The way he is so articulate and answers all questions succinctly. And always together, though he has a little accent but we hear him clearly. Unlike...

Good job sir. definitely had a 75A in performance.

Professor Attahiru Jega we all thank you..

EYAAAHHH

Bloody liar! As an INEC insider, I know 4 a fact that this request over staff renumerations has been shelved since the time of maurice iwu! The money is in the budget annually but the chairman and the national commissioners and recs all use it as pocket money 4 themselves and their senate commitee pallys! While they are given houses and lexus ,toyota and pajero jeeps by the presidency! Most staff have to end up sourcing for loans and other means to pay rent or purchase cars etc, because the wages and allowances are a joke! The chairmen and the presidency always frustrate the welfare of the workers of INEC so that they can easily be compromised while on duty! Its not a new thing, so jega park well abeg! An agency like this in a reasonable country should have the best paid staff due to the sensitivity of their role in the democratic process and to discourage corruption, but since naija is an animal farm don't be suprised as to why things are _fucked even in INEC!

Jega, you are the best so far. Well meaning Nigerians are grateful to you for your selfless, nonpartisan, patriotic, effective and efficient service to your father land. Posterity will be kind to you...
