The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has given strong assurance to corps members participating in the upcoming Anambra State election that their safety and welfare are fully guaranteed. The commission stated that all necessary arrangements have been made to protect NYSC members who will serve as ad-hoc staff during the polls.

INEC officials explained that security agencies had been placed on alert to ensure a peaceful exercise across all polling units. According to the commission, NYSC corps members remain an important part of the election process, and their protection remains a top priority.

The commission also reassured corps members that their allowances will be paid in full and on time. INEC emphasized that welfare logistics, transportation, and accommodation plans are already in place to ease their work during the election period.

Speaking ahead of the election, the INEC leadership encouraged corps members not to fear or withdraw from duties due to security concerns. They urged them to maintain professionalism, follow instructions from officials, and report any suspicious activity for prompt action by security personnel.

With the election approaching, the assurance is expected to boost confidence among youth corps members and help ensure a smooth and credible electoral process in Anambra State. Many stakeholders have welcomed the commitment, saying it will support transparency and encourage active participation in the democratic process.
