2023 Gov Election: Deployment of INEC officials delayed by payment in Amuwo-Odofin, Lagos.

Protest broke out in the Registration Area Center of the Independent National Electoral Commission, which is housed in the Amuwo-Odofin Nursery and Primary School in Mile 2, Lagos, over the INEC’s delay in paying its ad hoc personnel.

Ad hoc employees reportedly claimed that they were each guaranteed NGN15,000 before they left the RAC but that they hadn’t received their money as of past 9am.

“We were told that we would get NGN15,000 before we leave here,” said a member of the ad hoc staff who went by the name Matthew. “But they are yet to pay and are even threatening us.”

At the three polling places within the school, voting has already started.
