The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC says the commission will require N305 billion to conduct the 2023 general elections.
Chairman of the commission, Mahmood Yakubu disclosed this at a meeting with the Senate Committee on Appropriation at the National Assembly on Monday in Abuja.
Yakubu said the amount will enable the commission to prepare for the election and purchase all the election materials needed and also cover several bye-elections across the country.
The Chairman, however, stated that the commission has already received N100 billion out of the required amount for the elections.
