According to the statement, the training was held for registration officers from the six Area Councils and Head Office of INEC at the FCT.
Addressing the officers, the INEC Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC), Malam Aminu Idris, charged them to maximize the training opportunity to equip their skills as the Commission expects high work ethics from them as schedule officers for the physical CVR exercise.

Also speaking, the Administrative Secretary, Mrs. Bimbo Oladunjoye, highlighted the importance of the training organised by the Commission.

According to the statement, 66 Registration Officers are being trained for the in- person Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) exercise billed to start on Monday, 25th August, 2025 at the INEC offices in the six(6) Area Councils and Head Office in Abuja.
