The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has concluded arrangements to deploy two technicians to each of the 774 local governments in the country.
Also, the three companies that supplied the Direct Data Capture (DDC) machines have begun arrangements to deploy engineers to all states.
The companies are Zinox Technologies Ltd, which was contracted to supply 80,000 units at $1, 771. 73 per unit; Messrs Haier Electrical Appliances Corp Ltd, 30,000 units at $1, 699. 60 per unit; and Avante International Technology Inc., 22,000 units at $1, 699. 60 per unit.
In INEC’ s internal bulletin issued on yesterday, it was reported that INEC chairman Prof. Attahiru Jega has endorsed arrangements for the deployment of technicians to various local governmens. He also said that batteries supplied with the DDC machines are excellent products.
"To fast track the voter registration which began on a sluggish note, INEC has deployed two Information Communication Technology (ICT) technicians per local government, to troubleshoot at registration centres that might be running into hitches.
"Also, the three manufacturers of the DDC machines are deploying two engineers per state, to solve whatever difficulties the ad hoc staff conducting the exercise may face."
