She explained that all materials have already been deployed to the twenty-seven INEC Local Government Offices, and vehicles hired from the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) are on-site to facilitate the transportation of personnel and materials to all polling units.
She emphasized that all NURTW members have been adequately mobilized, and logistics for ad hoc staff engaged for the exercise have been settled.
In her words, these measures have been taken to ensure that accreditation and voting commences as scheduled.
On the ongoing protest by the organized labor, the INEC Head of Voter Education noted that the strike would not affect the conduct of the polls, as all preparations were concluded before the misunderstanding between the State Government and the Labour Unions.
She advised residents not to entertain any fear, as security agencies have promised to provide a conducive environment throughout the entire process.
Mrs. Ben-Opara maintained that all flashpoints have been identified by security agencies with adequate deployment.
She therefore urged eligible voters to come out and exercise their franchise.
