INEC receives another consignment of BVAS

As part of preparations for the next month's General Elections, INEC has received the last consignment of the Bimodal Voter Accreditation, BVAS machines. 


INEC Chairman, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, National Commissioners and senior officials of the Commission were at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, to receive the BVAS. 


Statement by INEC national commissioner for information, Festus Okoye notes that to facilitate the smooth delivery of the machines, INEC created four airport hubs in Abuja, Kano, Lagos, and Port Harcourt.


 Over the last four months, several flights delivered the BVAS to the designated airports for movement to States of the federation ahead of the elections.


 With the arrival of the last flight in Abuja, the Commission has now taken delivery of the required number of the BVAS for all the polling units in the country and extra machines in line with the contingency provisions for all critical election materials.
