Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, has assured Nigerians that the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS) would be used in the forthcoming governorship and state legislature elections.

Prof. Yakubu gave the assurance, on Saturday, in an ongoing meeting with all Resident Electoral Commissioners (RECs) at the INEC headquarters, in Abuja.

According to him, the BVAS machines would be used for the elections, though the devices were being worked upon to avoid a repeat of the glitches recorded with the last Saturday’s elections.
