The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on Monday said
it had embarked on a restructuring exercise as part of efforts to ensure
the success of the 2015 general elections.
Mr Sam Olumekun, the Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC) in Ogun,
stated this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in
Abeokuta.
Olumekun, who said that the exercise was not synonymous with
retrenchment, pointed out that it was meant to enhance the
effectiveness and efficiency of the commission in the conduct of the
polls.
He
explained that the development was borne out of a strategic review of
previous elections in which some proposals came up and evolved into
‘’election project plan for 2015 polls.”
The re-organisation, according to him, involves the collapse of some
departments into directorates and the creation of other divisions.
Olumekun added that it also entailed redeployment of personnel to
INEC’s offices
across the country as well as welfare packages to
produce a contented workforce that would be committed to the success of
the electoral process.
“We have identified seven principal business areas which are very
critical to the conduct of any election and we are now in the process of
executing the election plan project,” he added.
