We are going to deploy generating sets and non-sensitive materials before the election day.

INEC Enugu has concluded final verification of conditions of polling unit locations and RAC centres before now.

“We had started preparation of the RAC, which are mostly in public schools for our ad hoc staff’s comfort.
