The Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) has announced plans to construct a new national headquarters for the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in Abuja.
The groundbreaking ceremony for the project is expected to be performed by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, in a move seen as part of broader efforts to modernize the nation’s electoral infrastructure and improve administrative efficiency.
The project, which will be situated in the heart of the capital, is one of several major infrastructure undertakings currently being driven by the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike. It aligns with his development blueprint aimed at transforming Abuja into a more functional, modern city.
According to officials, the new INEC headquarters will offer upgraded facilities to enhance the Commission’s operational capacity and accommodate the growing demands of election management in Nigeria.
No specific timeline or cost has been disclosed yet, but further details are expected in the coming weeks as the project takes off.
The initiative has been widely welcomed as a positive step toward strengthening Nigeria’s democratic institutions and improving public trust in the electoral process.
