 And now to election martyrs. 16 days of the conduct of the General Post, the Independent National Electoral Commission has affirmed that the two major incumbrances faced by the Commission have been resolved. For this reason, the INEC Chairman, Mamu Jakubu, assured that the February 25 and the March 11 elections will hold us shadowed. In a chat with State House correspondents after briefing the Federal Executive Council on Preparation towards the polls and challenges, the INEC chief identified the petrol scarcity and the current challenge instituted challenges that have now been resolved following assurances by the governor of the central bank of Nigeria, CBN, Gadwin Imefile, who has pro-fed a resolution. Mission is invited to brief council. It is also invited to brief the council of state. The briefing for the council of state is going to take place on Friday the 10th. So basically it is about the readiness of the Commission to conduct the elections. So we took members of council through all the preparations that we have put in place for the election and the few challenges that we have faced and the steps that we have taken to address those challenges. I can tell you two of these challenges quickly. The first one is availability of petroleum products. We had a meeting with the National Union of Road Transport Workers and they raised that as an issue of concern. Immediately after that meeting, we interfaced with the leadership of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited. And right now there is a technical committee working. The idea is for them to avail us the use of their over 900 land mega stations as well as floating mega stations nationwide for the purpose of stocking products to ensure that the Commission doesn't suffer any encumbrances in movement of personnel and materials for the election. The second one is the currency issue. And again we had an engagement yesterday with the governor of the central bank and he assured us that the Commission will not suffer any encumbrances on that score. Fortunately for us all our accounts national and state are held by the apex bank. So we raised those challenges, but we have found a solution to those challenges. So we raised as sure that the election will hold as scheduled on the 25th of February for national and on the 11th of March for the state election. Hello, hope you enjoyed the news.
