The Federal Capital Territory Administration is set to build a new headquarters for the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

The new facility is to be situated in the Maitama district of the nation’s capital.

Lere Olayinka, senior special assistant on public communications to Nyesom Wike, minister of the federal capital territory (FCT), told TheCable on Saturday that President Bola Tinubu will flag off the construction of the new INEC headquarters next week.

In May, Wike said Tinubu would inaugurate completed projects and flag off the construction of new ones in the FCT to mark his second anniversary in office.

The projects being executed by the FCTA include the newly renovated Abuja International Conference Centre (AICC), bus terminals in Kugbo and Mabushi, and the Apo-Wassa Road.

Other projects are the N16 interchange and roads connecting Maitama through Katampe to Jahi; the inner northern expressway from Ring Road 3 (Idu to Kubwa road), CN8 from N5 (Obafemi Awolowo Way) to the court of appeal, the N20 flyover on onnex Kubwa road; and the Life Camp junction to Ring Road III.

They also include the Kabusa-Takushara Access road, Kabusa-Ketti Access Road, an access road in Giri District, a 15km road from A2 Junction Abuja-Lokoja Road to Pai in Kwali Area Council, and roads in Ushafa, War College, and the army checkpoint in Bwari area council.

Is inec not supposed to build their headquarters themselves?

Thats the Naija system. But ideally, the FCTA ought to be in charge of constructing and maintaining any federal building in the FCT. The task should encompass allocation of space, construction and maintenance of infrastructure and building. But Nigeria isnt an ideal place so anything goes.

Hmmm we are very far away from inec independence. For God's sake the umpire should not be influenced in anyway or answerable to any of the parties in the game

The FCTA should be the real estate agent and contractor of other government departments and agencies? I don't think you're correct at all.

International Conference Center renovated with 32 billion naira.
This new INEC office will be built with trillions of naira.
After this government, Wike will be the richest man in Nigeria

They have started 'preparing' for election.

Wike finding way to curry INEC favour in Order to rig elections. No wonder FCTA budget was unsually high and specially approved by the presidency...

Subterfuge , subterfuge is what I smell here just like Wike building houses for the Judiciary and pocketing them afterwards.

Another means of diversion of funds?

Instead of working to see that the machines and systems that had issues last election are fixed.

Nah, it’s to build more and more structures.

Misplaced priority,in the face of biting poverty in the land. All in a bid to have extra loot from inflated contracts for the purpose of the 2027 elections.

Billionaires dey cry of poverty

3% no go cry ke.

What happened with the current INEC headquarters?


What a misplaced priority!

Is building a new HQ for INEC what people want?

Why not fix the election, sorry the selection, process?

This government is synonymous with looting and not-so-desirable project.

When you answer those questions, and you see no wrong in the answers, then there is something wrong with your mentality

I am not wrong either. Read up about the american GSA. The FCTA has similar mandate but politics wont totally allow it fly.

We are a long way off from an 'Independent' electoral body😮‍💨... And yet the legislature still do nothing about it 🤦🏿‍♂️

To be named after tinubu 🤣🤣🤣🤣



Please take a moment to write a quality post with at least 40 characters.
