The Committee at its February meeting presided over by the FCT Minister of State, Dr. Ramatu Aliyu, said that adequate security measures have been put in place to guarantee the safety of officials as well as the residents across polling units.
Aliyu, at the meeting therefore urged all eligible residents to come out en-masse and exercise their civic responsibility.
She used the occasion to urge residents of the territory to conduct themselves lawfully during the exercise.
The Committee reviewed all security concerns and expressed satisfaction with the level of preparedness by the respective security formations in the Territory and concluded that the 2023 General Elections would hold in an atmosphere of peace and tranquility within the FCT.
