The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on Monday urged the general public to disregard media reports that the Commission had commenced recruitment of ad hoc staff for the conduct of the 2019 general elections. The Commission made the clarification in an online post published on its website and social media handles. The post said the claim that it would recruit 100, 000 ad hoc staff to prosecute the 2019 general elections was totally false.
The post read in part;
“This information is false. The general public should disregard it because INEC is not recruiting at the moment; don’t be swindled,’’ it stated.
The commission advised the public to contact it for proper information on any issue concerning the electoral process.
