The Independent National Electoral Commission INEC expressed optimism that its Central Bank of Nigeria funding request will be satisfied on or before Tuesday.
Festus Okoye, the national commissioner for INEC and head of its committee for voter education, revealed this to our correspondent on Sunday.
In light of the shortage or rarity of naira notes in circulation, the commission had previously stated that it had informed the CBN of its financial requirements for conducting the upcoming elections.
The commission had clarified that although it makes the majority of its payments electronically, some particular services necessitate payment in cash.
