The Niger State Governor, Umar Bago, has taken the decision to dissolve the State Independent Electoral Commission (NSIEC), according to a statement issued by the Secretary to the State Government, Alhaji Abubakar Usman in Minna on Sunday.
The dissolution, which was effective from May 29, resulted in the directive for all members of the commission to hand over any state government property in their possession to the most senior Director immediately.
This move comes after the Niger State House of Assembly had previously removed the Chairman of NSIEC, Alhaji Baba Aminu, on September 27, 2022, citing allegations of misconduct.
