EKO HOT BLOG reports that reports that the training, which kicked off at the TEI headquarters in Abuja, also has simultaneous sessions ongoing in Abaji, Kwali, and Gwagwalada Area Councils.
More than 120 participants are taking part in the programme, which is intended to prepare them for the ward-level CVR scheduled to take place across the 62 electoral wards of the FCT from Monday, September 29, to Wednesday, October 8, 2025.
Addressing the trainees, the FCT Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC), Malam Aminu Kasimu, urged them to carry out their responsibilities with patience, professionalism, and integrity.
He highlighted the special status of the FCT in Nigeria’s democratic framework and advised participants to be mindful of public perception in their conduct, especially in the era of social media where actions are quickly scrutinized.
Similarly, the Director of Training at TEI, Binta Kasim, and the Acting Director-General, Sani Ibrahim, encouraged participants to seize the opportunity to refresh their knowledge and strengthen their ability to deliver a credible CVR exercise.
They stressed that the programme is designed not only to build technical competence but also to promote fairness and transparency in the registration process.
Both officials underscored that the credibility of the nation’s elections begins with a clean and reliable voter register. They therefore charged the participants to remain neutral, diligent, and professional while engaging with the public during the exercise.
The training, they noted, is part of INEC’s broader commitment to ensuring credible elections through adequate preparation and continuous improvement of its personnel.
