Speaking at the flag off of the construction of INEC headquarters in Abuja, the president said his administration is committed to INEC\u2019s transparency.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cToday\u2019s ceremony is not merely about bricks and mortar but about the strength of our democracy, the independence of our institution and the future of our electoral integrity.<\/p>\n

\u201cINEC has been and remains the backbone of Nigeria\u2019s democratic journey, It\u2019s role in conducting free, fair, election is central to the trust in their government and in our democratic process.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor this reason, it\u2019s only right that such a pivotal institution is housed in a structure that reflects the dignity, responsibility, and national significance of that institution.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe new headquarters is a clear signal of our unwavering support for INEC\u2019s autonomy, capacity, and growth to provide not just a home but a conducive hub for planning, training, and transparency in electoral administration.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur democracy is still evolving and as it\u2019s growing, so too is the institution that supports and protects it, we are committed to ensuring that INEC is fully equipped not only in infrastructure but in law, policy, and resources to carry out its constitutional mandate with courage, fairness, and excellence.\u201d<\/p>\n
