According to INEC chairman in January, the key role of the electoral logistics committee is to the Electoral Logistics Committee would be responsible for coordinating logistics, as well as the clearance and transportation of electoral materials to various locations nationwide.


I am wondering why Muazu that is directly incharge of electoral logistics is not being invited by DSS

The Independent National Electoral Commission on Thursday inaugurated two ad hoc committees as part of its preparations for the 2019 general elections.

The two committees, Electoral Logistics and Collation Centre, were inaugurated by the INEC chairman, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, at the Commission’s headquarters in Abuja.

The Electoral Logistics Committee is chaired by INEC National Commissioner,‎ Retired AVM Ahmed Mu’azu; with INEC Director of Stores as Secretary.



The committee on Results Collation is chaired by another National Commissioner, Amina Zakari and INEC Director, Commission’s Secretariat as Secretary.

While inaugurating the two committees, the INEC chairman said it was another step in the commission’s determination to ensure seamless preparations for the 2019 general elections.

Yakubu said that the Electoral Logistics Committee would be responsible for coordinating logistics, as well as the clearance and transportation of electoral materials to various locations nationwide.

“The first committee is responsible for electoral logistics. The commission is aware that the conduct of a general election is the biggest and most complex logistics operation a nation can undertake.

“Sensitive and non-sensitive materials procured by the commission must be delivered to almost 200,000 locations nationwide.

“Ranging from the polling units to the various wards, local governments, states and the national collation centres for the 1,558 constituencies into which elections will be conducted.

“At the end of the elections, sensitive materials will be retrieved from the same locations.

“The same process will be repeated for each of the two phases of the 2019 general elections.



“Namely the Presidential and National Assembly elections holding on Feb. 16 and the Governorship, State Assembly and Area Council election in the Federal Capital Territory on March 2,’’ the INEC chairman said.

Yakubu said that the Committee on National Collation Centre, which was entirely internal to the commission, would be responsible for the national collation centre from where results of the Presidential election would be announced.

“As was the case in 2015, the commission will use the International Conference Centre in Abuja.

“Already, the management of the ICC has approved the commission’s request to once again use the venue in 2019.

“It will serve as the secretariat for collation of results and venue for briefing of international observers and the media.

“It will also be accessible to agents of the 73 political parties fielding candidates in the presidential election.

“Facilities such as power, access to the internet, live transmission for national and international media as well as accreditation for access to the ICC and security of the venue shall be handled by the committee,” he said.

Yakubu assured Nigerians that “the commission is on course to deliver credible elections in 2019’’.

He also noted that the commission would meet with the national leadership of the Academic Staff Union of Universities on Friday at 4 p.m. in Abuja, to discuss the ongoing strike by the union, only in relation to the INEC preparations for the general elections.

“We are concerned that the bulk of critical election duty staff are drawn from the universities. We are determined to ensure that the processes are not affected by the union’s industrial action.

“ASUU is a critical partner to the commission in delivering credible elections. We look forward to the meeting and we are confident of a positive outcome,’’ the INEC chairman said.

Yakubu said that INEC had contacted the Nigeria Labour Congress as the commission was already in partnership with one of its affiliate unions, the National Union of Road Transport Workers.

“The Commission plans to meet with the NLC next week,’’ he said.

The INEC boss also listed members of the Logistics Committee to include National Commissioners Mr. Abubakar Lamuche and Malam Muhammed Haruna, the Central Bank of Nigeria, Nigeria Customs Service, Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria, Nigeria Immigration Service, Federal Road Safety Corps and the Nigeria Police Force.

It also include the Department of State Services, the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps, the Nigerian Army, Navy and Air Force, the INEC Director, Electoral Operations ‎and Logistics Department, INEC Director of Estate Works and Transport, and INEC‎ Director of Procurement.

Responding, the Chairman of the Electoral Logistics Committee, Mu’azu, pledged that they would deliver the responsibilities with all sense of diligence.

“The committee will do whatever needs to be done to guarantee a seamless delivery of men and materials to the right place at the right time and in the right quantity and of course, guarantee retrieval of same after the two elections.

“I want to also assure you that we appreciate and very clear in our minds the gravity of what is on our hands. Therefore, we shall hit the ground running,” he said.

Wether its Mu'azu or Ibeanu
Nigerians are ready for next Level

Wizklynd23:
Wether its Mu'azu or Ibeanu

Why is ibeanu being questioned and the real culprit is ignored?

I don't give 2 fvcks about your next level. Next level what? Nepotism and selective justice?

That is next level for you: 5%

soulpeppersoup:
That is next level for you: 5%

It's so annoying. The last time buhari came out to give a shoot at sight order and supposedly literate and enlightened Nigerian youths are supporting him. This country is so messed up, it's disgusting.

sai Atiku

This is the vendetta that the Buhari government is all about.The non-hausa/fulani fella must be a fall guy.

You are asking a question whose answer is already known.
Now that they know Ibeanu was not d one in charge of logistics for the presidential elections,but a certain Muazu,watch as the goal post is changed:
What you may now start hearing is "Ibeanu made all the arrangements,Muazu own was just to carry out the directive";or "Ibeanu took over Muazu's job",or "Ibeanu gave his brother,wife,son or in law contract for the transport, bypassing Muazu".
Satanic people,devilish party full of rogues,liars and bigots.

The most annoying part of this that people are refusing to look at is that everything about this election is headed by the North.

From the Head of the election , to the person printing the election materials, to the person organizing the election logistics, to the person announcing the results.

It's all Northerners and 90% muslim.

cc Lalasticlala Seun Mynd44 this should really be on the frontpage.

As usual, truths like this would never make front page in this god forsaken forum.

Totally biased and very tribalistic forum. Why do I even expect better? Nigeria with it's educated illiterates.

Hmmm

blame game govt
SAY NO TO NEXT LEVEL OF INCOMPETENCE AND HARDSHIP

This should be on FP already. Nigerians are a bunch of lazy people. They don't read, otherwise they'd know the person in charge of logistics for this election.

Never. Nairaland is an APC cesspit filled with very tribalitic and myopic Moderators.

cc Seun

it's funny how all of the BMC zombie Buhari supporters that were screaming fro ibeanu's sack on the other thread have all gone silent on this one.

cc deomelo ngeneukwuenu cleverly deomelo and all the other rats.

still not on FP. Nairaland is a big joke.

Tribalism is d bane of our collective progress as a nation. Imagine a rejoinder like this which has clarified d air on who exactly bungled d logistics arrangements is yet to hit fp. U have all been shouting Ibeano Biafran upandan but suddenly that highly technical assignment was being by one Muazu and suddenly d DSS is no more pushing for interrogation

I'm only pointing out the obvious Sir. What is it with Buhari and appointing muslims to key positions in this government. Don't we have qualified christians?

When Buhari said he only appoints people based on merit what were you thinking?
Merit means Northern Muslim, and sometimes Southern Muslim.

What is religion consideration in appointments if you are not a fanatics.

What is religion consideration in appointments if you are not a fanatics. Complain about if they deliver or not.

i'm just saying. It just happens that more than 90% of Buhari appointments into key positions happen to be muslims. Don't know what the criteria is.

Funny how the people calling for the Igbo man's head have all gone mute as a Fulani/ Hausa man is discovered to head the logistic unit. This goes to show how low and dirty the APC government plays when it comes to power politics.

Seun, Lalasticlala , mynd44 let the people know the truth!!

The other thread defaming the man made front page.. Let's have this one up to neutralize and balance the equation.

now that INEC has confirmed this, can we now push this to FP?

cc lalasticalala.

Why is this thread still not on front page??



Chai! Nairaland!
