Arewa group backs INEC chair’s call for direct funding from Federation Account
The Arewa Development and Advocacy Network (ADNAN) has endorsed the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) Chairman’s call for the Commission to receive direct funding from the Federation Account, urging the National Assembly to urgently enact reforms that would guarantee the electoral body’s financial autonomy.
Backing the position, ADNAN said direct access to the Federation Account would provide predictable and non-discretionary funding needed for the Commission to conduct credible elections and discharge its constitutional responsibilities without unnecessary financial constraints.
He explained that the envelope budgeting system and annual appropriation process compel the Commission to seek funding releases through the National Assembly, creating delays that affect election planning and operational efficiency.
