“We implore Nigerians to ignore the fake news making the rounds that the commission will open the register of voters from 25th January 2021.”

This he said during the budget defence of the commission before the Senate Committee on INEC, noting that the sum of N1billion has been earmarked by INEC for the exercise.
No specific date was however revealed the commencement of the exercise.
Meanwhile, there are reports that INEC is considering using the National Identity Number as a precondition for registering voters in Nigeria.
