The Independent National Electoral Commission’s projected budget of N873 billion for 2027, according to Oluwole Osaze-Uzzi, a former director of INEC, is not excessive.
This claim was made by Osaze-Uzzi on Thursday during an interview on Politics Today on Channels Television.
N873.78 billion was reportedly INEC’s suggested budget for the upcoming general elections in 2027.
“I don’t think there has been an exponential growth in what is being presented to the Assembly now when we look back at the budget for the 2023 elections,” Said Osaze-Uzzi in response.
“To guarantee effective use and distribution of resources, I anticipate that the National Assembly will examine it carefully, consider the inflation rate, and examine the breakdown.
With any luck, the logistics will work out perfectly. A healthy budget for trading, logistics, and systemic technology advancements. It is necessary to take into account all of these.
