4000 BVAS Machines Were Affected by Flooding in Our Edo State Office – Electoral Commission, INEC

He made this revelation on Monday at the start of a two-day introduction session for Lagos State’s resident electoral commissioners (RECs).

Over 4000 Bimodal Voters Accreditation System (BVAS) devices at the offices of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC)

were impacted by a recent flood disaster, according to Prof. Mahmoud Yakubu, Chairman of the Commission.

He made this revelation on Monday at the start of a two-day introduction session for Lagos State’s resident electoral commissioners (RECs).

Yakubu declared that the commission had successfully retrieved over 3,500 of the equipment in spite of the setback.

He did, however, voice fears that the impacted state’s remaining machines might not be adequate for the next elections, implying that more assistance from adjacent states may be required.

Yakubu stressed the importance of the induction retreat, saying it goes beyond orientation and is useful for performance reviews, process reviews, innovation discussions, and interactions with service providers.

He emphasized how crucial it is to work with legislators to advance important changes and strengthen organizational capability for improved service delivery.

In his reflections on recent events, Yakubu mentioned earlier retreats for different INEC factions and outlined impending electoral concerns.

He brought up the impending elections in the states of Anambra, Ekiti, and Osun, emphasizing INEC’s dedication to enacting

administrative changes as soon as possible and promoting the need for legal changes by interacting with the National Assembly.
