N'Assembly Pledges to Legalise SCR as Yakubu Begins Second T

By Chuks Okocha
Prof. Mahmood Yakubu yesterday began his second and final tenure as chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) with a pledge to improve on the nation’s electoral processes, with a view to delivering better elections.
Yakubu took his oath of office before President Muhammadu Buhari as part of activities of the 27th virtual Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting, which held in Abuja.
His pledge to give the nation better elections coincided with the National Assembly’s commitment to provide the legal framework for the deployment of smart card readers in future elections.
Buhari had reappointed Yakubu as INEC chairman for another five-year term on October 27, making him the first incumbent to get a second term after the Senate ratified his nomination on December 1.
