On the first day of the visit, the REC visited the Sector Commander Federal Road Safety Corps, the Coordinator Northeast Development Commission (NDC), the Comptroller Nigerian Immigration Service, the State Director National Orientation Agency and the State Coordinator National Youth Service Corps.
In all the organisations visited, the REC harped on the role of the security as members of the Inter-consultative committee on election security (ICCES) who usually advises and map out security coordination during elections.
At the NOA and NYSC the REC solicited for their support and collaboration in the areas of citizens voter education and enlightenment and the role of corps members in the upcoming 2027 general election as they constitute the bulk of the adhoc staff requirement of the Commission.
