The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has highlighted the essential role of transport logistics in the success of upcoming elections, particularly the Federal Capital Territory Council Election set for February 21, 2026. In a recent meeting with key transport unions like the National Union of Road Transport Workers, the National Association of Road Transport Owners, and the Maritime Workers Union of Nigeria, INEC Chairman Prof. Joash Amupitan emphasized the need for these organizations to enhance their commitment and readiness in logistics operations.

Prof. Amupitan noted that the collaboration between INEC and the transport unions is crucial to ensuring the integrity and credibility of elections in Nigeria. He recognized the unions as vital stakeholders whose involvement is significant for the facilitators of free and fair elections. The emphasis on timely and reliable transport logistics suggests that coordinating efforts among transport unions will be pivotal in overcoming logistical challenges typically faced during electoral processes.

As the election date approaches, the INEC's call for proactive measures from the transport unions underscores the importance of developing a robust transport network to support the electoral process. This partnership aims not only to streamline the electoral logistics but also to enhance public confidence in the electoral system by ensuring that the necessary resources are available to facilitate smooth operations on election day.
