A statement signed by the National Commissioner and chairman of Information and Voter Education Committee, INEC, Festus Okoye, on Wednesday in Abuja, said the Commission’s chairman, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, other national commissioners, and senior officials of the Commission were at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, to receive the BVAS.

Okoye said officials of the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS), the Nigerian Aviation Handling Company (NAHCO), and airport security officials were also at the airport to receive the INEC team.

Okoye added that the Commission appreciated the support of all Nigerians in its determination to conduct free, fair, credible, transparent, and inclusive 2023 general elections facilitated by the deployment of technology.
