Yakubu made this pledge on Monday in Abuja as Dr. Lafia led a delegation of CENA officials on a study visit to Nigeria to learn about the country’s electoral laws and processes.
In his address, Yakubu expressed INEC’s readiness to share its experiences with CENA to ensure that Benin Republic holds peaceful and successful elections in 2026.
“I am pleased to warmly welcome my friend and colleague, Dr. Sacca Lafia, Chairman of CENA, and his delegation to INEC,” Yakubu said. “We received a letter from CENA last month, indicating their interest in visiting INEC Nigeria ahead of what they have termed their most complex election in 2026. For the first time in its history, CENA will oversee three elections within a three-month period: legislative and local elections in January, followed by the presidential election in April.”
Yakubu noted that the CENA delegation, comprising 12 members including national commissioners, directors, and key staff, was in Nigeria to study INEC’s processes and procedures. The delegation is particularly interested in learning about Nigeria’s electoral legal framework, the design and printing of election materials, the recruitment and training of poll officials, budgeting, security measures, the use of technology, and stakeholder engagement during elections.
In response, INEC has outlined a detailed program for the visit, covering all aspects of the electoral process. Various departments within INEC will brief the CENA officials, fostering peer learning and knowledge exchange.
“We are committed to fully sharing our experiences and providing relevant documents to enrich your understanding of our processes,” Yakubu assured the CENA team.
Yakubu concluded by welcoming Dr. Lafia and his team once again, expressing his gratitude and wishing them success in their preparations for the 2026 elections.
