Jalingo – The Independent National Electoral Commission said it would

engage the services of Nigerian Air Force, Navy and other security

agencies for adequate security during general elections in 2015.

Mr Austin Okojie, the commission's Resident Electoral Commissioner in

Taraba, disclosed this while addressing Batch B corps members at NYSC

Orientation Camp in Jalingo on Sunday.
Okojie explained that the move was necessary given the level of insecurity

in the country.
“The commission is making arrangements with the Nigerian Air Force, Navy

and other security agents to ensure safety of lives and property during

the 2015 general elections.
“We expect Nigerians to understand that the engagement of security agents

to maintain law and order is to enable us to conduct free, fair and

acceptable elections'', he said.
Okojie advised corp members to be patriotic in the elections.

Mr Freeman Tumba, the State Coordinator of NYSC, commended the role of

corpse members in the country's electoral process so far.

He said corpse members were the best set of Nigerians to bring credibility

to the nation's electoral process.(NAN)
