The minister said: “We invited the chairman of INEC to address council on the ongoing voters registration and to let us know the challenges he is facing and the import of the exercise.

“I think the council was very satisfied with the presentation. First, he made it known that this is the first time we are going to have a real continuous voters registration; not the one that comes on before election or registration that goes on only in some parts of the country.

“He also explained why it is not possible for the exercise to be conducted on poling unit basis because we have about 119,000 plus polling units. We need a minimum of five personnel to man each unit and the cost cannot be accommodated by their budget.”
