INEC has started on a sound footing in its early preparations
for the 2015 general polls of the Nigerian federation by holding several
stakeholders meeting across the country to acquaint and unveil INEC strategic
policy plan for 2013 – 2016 polls which is commendable as the usual rush in the
period of polls can be avoided by planning ahead. Prof. Atahiru Jega had

plans on a National level to stakeholders and today the 6th of
November under the leadership of the Edo
state Residence INEC commissioner and top security brass of the Nigerian federation, unveiled the strategic plan which are
laudable and remarkable addressed to have credible polls in 2013-2015.
The plans includes early updates of voters registration list
as well as the issuance of permanent voters card which today serves as a means
of identification in Banks, and other places which is indeed commendable as the
Nationals Identity card schemes is not enough to provide credible means of
identification to all citizens of Nigeria giving the INEC Voters cards a legal

and should be given maximum interpretation…
