ASUU strike will have serious impact on preparations for 2019 elections, says INEC

The Independent National Electoral Commission on Thursday raised fresh fears that the ongoing face-off between the Federal Government and the Academic Staff Union of Universities could be a serious threat to the 2019 general elections.

The commission also stressed that it would deploy over one million ad-hoc staff made up of lecturers in federal tertiary institutions, including ASUU, members of the National Youth Service Corps and students of federal tertiary institutions.

The categories of ad-hoc staff to be used during next year’s election would serve as Returning Officers, Collation Officers, Supervisory Presiding Officers, and Assistant Presiding Officers.
A National Commissioner for INEC and chairman of its Information and other Education Committee, Festus Okoye, raised these issues during the opening ceremony of a one-day seminar on media gender-sensitive reporting.
