Ubale Maska, the NCC commissioner of technical, said the commission carried out a survey in 2018 of all the polling units in Nigeria.<\/p>\n

Maska and three others represented the NCC Executive Vice Chairman, Umar Danbatta, who was unable to attend the session.<\/p>\n

It would be recalled that the consideration of the bill had ended in stalemate due to disagreement on section 52 of the bill.<\/p>\n

The Speaker, Femi Gbajabiamila directed that the NCC and Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) should brief the House on the possibility of electronic transmission of results.<\/p>\n

Mr Maska said 40 per cent are with 2G while about 10 per cent are without network at all, noting that only 3G and above can transmit results.<\/p>\n

Following the presentation, the House erupted into another rowdy session, as the Deputy Speaker, Idris Wase resumed the consideration of the report.<\/p>\n

The House is calm now and the consideration is ongoing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
