Commission, INEC, Prof. Attahiru Jega Monday said that the
commission needs about N93 billion to conduct a hitch free
election in 2015 even as he assured that that the elections
would see the country take its rightful place in the global
comity of nations.
Prof. Jega who stated this at the Stakeholders hearing
organized by the Senate Committee on INEC in collaboration
with Policy and Legal Advocacy Centre, PLAC, Abuja and
the United Kingdom Department for International Development, DFID, also said that the commission was
considering to hold the 2015 elections between January and
February.
He said that the country spent about $8 per voter in the 2011 which according to him was normal as he noted that Ghana in its last election spent between $10-12 per voter while Kenya
spent between $8-9, stressing that the $8 spent in the country was globally acceptable.
