The INEC Secretary in Niger, Aliyu Bungudu, made the disclosure at a one-day forum for election stakeholders held in Minna. He said that the registration exercise is to ensure that no eligible voter is denied the right to elect leaders of their choice.
Mr. Bungudu assured the stakeholders that INEC will not shirk its responsibility in that regard, and urged them to mobilize the people to get registered. He, therefore, called on eligible Nigerians who have attained the age of eighteen, to take the advantage of the exercise to be registered.
