The Resident Electoral Commissioner of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in Osun State, Mutiu Agboke, has assured Nigerians that the 2023 general elections will be conducted despite attacks on its facilities.
He also disclosed that security is beefed up at the Commission’s offices across the state to ensure both sensitive and nonsensitive materials are secured.
