The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has educated National Youth Service Corps members in Rivers State on their responsibilities in the conduct of elections.
The sensitisation programme took place on Wednesday, November 11, 2026, at the NYSC Permanent Orientation Camp in Nonwa-Gbam, Tai Local Government Area.
Speaking during the exercise, a staff member of INEC’s Rivers State Training Department, Mr Robinson Kuroghobogha David, explained the importance of corps members in the electoral process, particularly as ad-hoc personnel during general and off-cycle elections.
He charged the participants to demonstrate professionalism and uphold the commission’s values of transparency, integrity, impartiality, credibility and accountability while carrying out their duties.
David also exposed the corps members to key election procedures, the need to protect electoral integrity, maintain political neutrality and make proper use of technology in election administration.
The exercise is part of the commission’s efforts to equip young graduates with the knowledge and skills required to support credible elections and contribute to the nation’s democratic development.
