INEC has clarified that it is not engaging in the recruitment of new ad hoc staff for the upcoming Feb. 3 rerun and by-elections. Mrs. Mary Nkem, the Director of Voter Education and Publicity Department, emphasized in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria that the commission will deploy its existing permanent staff in the relevant states for the election proceedings.
“We are not opening any portal for recruitment of ad hoc because we are not taking new ad hoc staff.
“The commission has decided to use its members of staff within the affected states. If they are not enough for certain categories in any state, we will source from nearby states.
“But for the Presiding Officers (POs) and Assistant Presiding Officers (APOs) we are going to use the National Youth Service Corps members serving within the state,” she said.
