For the first time in 15 years, the governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Godwin Emefiele, in a bid to ensure that sensitive electoral materials for the 2015 general elections in Nigeria are printed in the country, yesterday paid a visit to the headquarters of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC.

Extract from Daily Post:

Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Godwin Emefiele, yesterday visited the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) with a view to making good the federal government’s directive that the 2015 ballots papers and other sensitive electoral materials be printed in Nigeria. The visit is the first of its kind since the commission was established 15 years ago.

The CBN governor who was received in audience at the INEC headquarters by the Commission’s Chairman, Prof. Attahiru Jega informed that his visit was in line with President Goodluck Jonathan’s directive that the Nigeria Security Printing and Minting Company be given the first choice of refusal before security printing materials like the ones for elections can be printed outside the country.

Emefiele pointed out that the Nigeria Security Printing and Minting Company was seeking a way through which it can work with INEC particularly in the area of security documents printing as regards the printing of documents for the coming elections in 2015.
