The Independent National Electoral Commission Federal Capital Territory Office held its quarterly electoral learning session for FCT headquarters staff.

The training was organised to strengthen institutional capacity, promote staff development, and prepare staff for their responsibilities ahead of the 2027 elections.

In a statement on Tuesday, INEC said the one-day programme was designed to improve staff competence in managing election results.

“The quarterly electoral learning session is a capacity-building initiative at the state level aimed at promoting continuous learning, knowledge sharing and professional development among Commission staff.

“The session also served as a cascade of the training organised by the Electoral Institute (TEI) the previous week for State Trainers, ensuring that the knowledge and competencies acquired are transferred to other staff members for improved electoral service delivery,” the statement said.
