Kano INEC Officials Protest Non-Payment of Allowances

 Adhoc staff members of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in Kano state have staged a protest, stating that they will not begin accrediting voters until they receive their allowances. The officials at Dorayi Karama polling unit in Gwale Local Government of the state told BBC Hausa that they will not commence work until their training allowances are paid.

It is worth noting that INEC recruits a significant number of adhoc staff members during elections. These officials play crucial roles such as accrediting voters, monitoring the voting process, and collating results. However, the non-payment of their allowances has led to protests and delays in the voting process.

The protest in Kano state has reportedly left voters stranded, as the officials refused to start their work until their allowances are paid. It is unclear when the situation will be resolved, but INEC has been urged to address the issue promptly to prevent further delays in the electoral process.

In a similar development, the Nigerian Broadcasting Commission (NBC) has threatened to revoke the licenses of media stations that are inciting violence or spreading fake news during the elections. This move is aimed at preventing violence and promoting peaceful elections in the country.
