Corp members need help during registration says lawmaker
A member of the
House of Representatives, Hassan Adamu, on Monday said effective voter
registration would check the menace of election manipulations in the
country.
Mr Adamu, who is a
PDP member representing Birnin Gwari, Giwa Federal Constituency, said
the introduction of the Direct Data Capture (DDC) machines by INEC
would add value to elections.
The legislator
commended the commission’s proposal to recruit NYSC and senior students
of tertiary institutions to conduct the 2011 exercise, but however,
appealed to the commission to consider the terrain of most of the
locations in the country to incorporate indigenous staff to work with
the NYSC and the students as local guide.
“These people are more conversant with the terrain. It will ensure
effective conduct of the exercise to avoid disenfranchising people,
especially those in the remote places.” He said.
