Idris added that training of the officers would be done in collaboration with the International Foundation for Electoral systems.

“The purpose is to enable Electoral Officers and Assistant Electoral Officers (Ops) plan effectively for elections. It is also for Electoral Officers to identify activities with timelines for a successful conduct of the election.

“The training is equally meant to properly position the Electoral Officers/Assistant Electoral Officers (Operations) to enable them to discharge ad-hoc staff training on polling and counting procedures effectively.

“Expected benefits to be derived from training the AEOs Admin and Cluster include the conduct of Train of Trainers (ToT) for participation, to enable them to coordinate and conduct electoral training at their Local Government Areas.”

He added that the training of Security Personnel on electoral security best practices and knowledge of the electoral process would hold between October 25 and November 1. Read also: Help me, PDP wants to expel me—Senator begs court
