 INEC Adhoc Staff In Anambra State Protest Again Over Non-payment Of Stipends



Adhoc staff of Independent National Electoral Commission,INEC, Anambra State, have staged a peaceful protest over non-payment of stipend after the just concluded general elections. 


The adhoc workers who include collation Officers, SPOs among others staged the protest at the state headquarters of INEC in  Awka.

In an interview,some of the adhoc workers,Dr Chidebele Obi and Lady Theresa Mgbatogu said most of them have not been paid for the election duty they carried out since March 2023.


They wondered why no  single person among them have not been able to authenticate INEC's claim that they have been paid ,asking INEC which claimed that it has paid all the adhoc workers, who then have they paid?


Contributing, Dr Ikechukwu Ekemezie another adhoc staff, explained that election duty is a national call which they answered, risked their lives to work during the election and now they came to register their grievances over the failure of INEC to pay them and called on relevant authorities to reach out to the electoral umpire to pay them for the duty they carried out.


Speaking with the ABS, the  REC Anambra State INEC,Dr. Agwu reiterated that INEC has paid over fifty-thousand adhoc staff who they employed for the election and stressed that some of the adhoc staff accounts were bouncing back because there were irregularities in the account details and phone numbers they supplied to INEC.


Dr Agwu who revealed that INEC is carrying out mop up exercise, advised the aggrieved workers to visit their banks to verify the payment and if otherwise they should get their statement of account from their banks and visit INEC for clarifications.
