INEC Chairman, Prof. Joash Amupitan made this known at the opening of a two-day Induction and Strategic Retreat organised held in Lagos.
He stressed that while the 2027 general election remained its ultimate goal, it must first successfully navigate several key electoral milestones.
According to him, the induction and retreat session was designed to induct newly appointed Commission Members and Resident Electoral Commissioners into INEC’s institutional framework, administrative structure, communication processes, and ethical standards.
Amupitan stated, “These elections will serve as important testing grounds for refining voter registry management, election logistics, and the deployment of technology such as the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS).”
He reaffirmed its commitment to delivering elections that are free, fair, credible, transparent, and inclusive, as it intensifies institutional preparations towards the 2027 general election.
The INEC Chair stressed that the Commission is deliberately strengthening its leadership capacity, operational systems, and institutional coherence in response to rising public expectations of the electoral process.
