Determined to serve the people better, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has opened its Citizens’ Contact Centre.
The centre, according to a statement by the Commission, is a facility that will allow the general public constant access to the Commission with enquiries and exchange of information.
Chief Press Secretary to the INEC Chairman, Kayode idowu, said it is also designed to enhance transparency and public participation in the electoral process.
The statement reads, “The ICCC is a Situation Room that operates daily. At this early stage, it will open between 9am and 5pm on weekdays. Later on, the Centre will scale up to round-the-clock (i.e. 24-hour) service every day.”
“As a daily Situation Room, the Centre offers the public an opportunity for getting real time responses to enquiries, incident-reports, complaints and queries about any aspect of the electoral process.
“In the immediate instance, the Centre is available for use by the public during the Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) that began in Anambra State on Monday, August 19, 2013.
“The Centre can be accessed through telephone lines, Facebook, Twitter and INEC’s website. Phone numbers: 07098115257; 07098117563; 07098110916 Website address: inecnigeria.org
