Emiefele, who spoke when the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission Professor Mahmood Yakubu led eleven National Commissioners on a visit to the Bank, said the CBN will make available every cash needed to pay logistics for the success of the elections.
The CBN Governor was responding to a request from Yakubu that the bank should find a way of addressing scarcity of currency across the country, 17 days to the Presidential and National Assembly elections since some service providers to the commission were unbanned.
The INEC chairman had told the CBN Governor the 2023 elections will be the best in Nigeria’s history, adding that concerns have however been raised about the processes leading to the elections.
He said while the Commission has transferred all its accounts at the state and national level to the apex bank, some of the services being rendered to the Commission need to be paid for in cash.
