The Director General of National Youth Service Corps, Brigadier General Muhammad Kaku Fadah has urged Corps Members that would serve as electoral officers in the Ekiti State Gubernatorial election to strictly abide by the electoral laws and avoid any action that can endanger their safety.
Fadah stated this during his visit to Corps Members in Ekiti State.
According to theDirector, Press and Public Relations of NYSC, Mr Eddy Megwa, some Corps Members have been trained by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to function as polling officers across the sixteen Local Government Areas of the State in the State Governorship Election holding on Saturday June 18th, 2022.
Megwa noted that before now, the Corps Members have been inducted into the do’s and dont’s of the electoral process that would make the exercise a huge success.
“This is a fall-out of the constant interaction between the NYSC Ekiti State Secretariat and INEC, which are critical stakeholders in ensuring free, fair and credible elections in the country”.
”Before now, the involvement of Corps Members in elections in the country have added credibility to the electoral process, which has been commended by local and foreign observers at different times,” he explained.
The Director-General of NYSC, while in the State, would visit stakeholders in order to seek adequate protection for the Corps Members before, during and after the election.
