Ahead of the 2027 general election, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has revealed that it has undertaken comprehensive reviews of its cyber security, cyber architecture, data systems, penetration testing, disaster recovery mechanism and communication protocols.

INEC’s Chairman, Joash Amupitan (SAN), made this known on Thursday in Abuja when he played host to the British High Commissioner to Nigeria, Mr. Richard Montgomery, and his team.

He told the delegation that instead of changing its technology, because of time, the commission decided to improve on the existing technology.
