Ex-Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, Professor Attahiru Jega has received another honors for his outstanding handling of the 2015 General Elections in Nigeria.
Jega was handed the 2015 Charles Manatt democracy award by the International Foundation for Electoral Systems in Washington.
He was also given the Integrity Award by the Nigerian Higher Education Foundation in New York.
“I
am humbled to be receiving the 2015 Democracy award, and will also like
to recognise my colleagues at INEC for their dedication to a credible
and transparent electoral process,” Jega said in Washington.
“Over
the last five years, we’ve come a long way in the conduct of elections
in Nigeria, and I think the outcome of the 2015 elections speak directly
to this work.”
“All my colleagues at INEC share the
credit for this success. The mood in my country presently is extremely
upbeat, following the first democratic transfer of power in our
history.”
