[PHOTO] #NIGERIA2015: Fire Guts INEC’s Abuja Warehouse

INEC warehouse

The warehouse of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) at its Electoral Institute along Airport Road, Abuja was gutted by fire at the weekend.

But fears that 2015 electoral materials might have been affected were doused by INEC’s Director of Voter Education and Publicity Mr. Wole Osaze Uzzi.
He said: “None of the sensitive electoral materials for the presidential and National Assembly elections and the.....
governorship and state assembly elections was affected.”
The Electoral Institute’s Director of Security, Shettima Ngiladar, said the fire was caused by an electric surge.
The director said the incident would not affect the preparation for the elections since the burnt items were the non-sensitive materials like bags, forms and envelopes used in the 2011 general elections.
INEC National Commissioner in charge of Electoral Logistics Col. Mohammed Hammanga, who was at the institute to inspect the damage, expressed happiness that materials affected were old stock.
