On Saturday, a protest took place at the Registration Area Centre of the Independent National Electoral Commission, which is located in the Amuwo-Odofin Nursery and Primary School in Mile 2, Lagos, due to a delay in the payment of the commission’s ad hoc staff.
Some of the ad hoc workers who spoke with our correspondent said they were promised $15,000 each before leaving the RAC, but they hadn’t been paid as of 9 a.m.
One of the ad hoc staff who identified himself as Matthew said, “We were told that we would get ₦15,000 before we leave here but they are yet to pay and are even threatening us.”
Meanwhile, voting has commenced at the three polling units inside the school.
