The Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) Prof Mahmood Yakubu Mahmood Yakubu says the commission is already working to resolve election results issues that may arise from blind network spots.
Mahmood stated this at a One-Day Strategic Interactive session with journalists in Lagos on Friday.
The chairman made this clarification as a result of the reservations by Nigerians on the possibility of using the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System, BVAS, in poor network areas as it depended on the telecommunications network to work.
He commission would meet with the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), on Tuesday, on mobile network issues that might affect the transmission of results.
Yakubu added that Nigerians had nothing to fear about the effectiveness of result transmission in the 2023 general elections using the BVAS.
The INEC chairman said they were liaising with NCC to make sure there would be a seamless transmission of results in the 2023 elections.
“We are working with the NCC to make sure we transmit from blind spots. They are the network regulators and they will be very vital to that.
“We are making sure and working hard so that we transmit freely all around the country,” he said.
