INEC boss Amupitan vows legal-driven reforms to halt election disputes
Joash Amupitan, Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), has reaffirmed his commitment to working closely with the National Assembly to ensure a credible, free, and fair electoral process in Nigeria.
Amupitan made the remarks at the 56th annual national conference of the Nigerian Association of Law Teachers (NALT) monitored by Very Nigerian, where he was honoured by the Federal University of Lokoja for his dedication, hard work, and inspirational leadership.
Describing the event as a “momentous occasion,” the INEC chairman emphasised the critical role of law in society, stating, “Law is not merely a set of rules but a foundation upon which societies build their progress.”
He highlighted that the electoral process is underpinned by legal frameworks and pledged to actively participate in ongoing amendments to the Electoral Act.
“I will begin my participation in the National Assembly to ensure that we develop an electoral process and laws that you, I, and all Nigerians can be proud of,” he said.
