The Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, Prof. Joash Amupitan (SAN), is set to deliver a keynote address at a stakeholders’ policy dialogue on Nigeria’s electoral process.
The event, organised by Abuja-based law firm Law Corridor, is scheduled to hold on April 29, 2026, at the Abuja Continental Hotel.
In a statement issued on Friday, the organisers said the high-level dialogue would bring together leaders of political parties, civil society organisations, as well as local and international election observers to deliberate on key issues affecting the country’s electoral system.
They added that notable experts expected at the event include Muyiwa Atoyebi (SAN), Seun Okinbaloye, Bala Maiyaki (SAN), Ahmed Raji (SAN), Patrick Ikwueto (SAN), Alhassan Umar (SAN), Dantele Yusuf and Bukola Idowu, among others.
According to the organisers, the engagement is aimed at fostering collaboration among stakeholders from both the public and private sectors, with a view to addressing critical challenges ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The Managing Partner of Law Corridor, Henry Kelechukwu Eni-Otu, in the statement said, “This year’s Policy Dialogue is so critical considering its proximity to the 2027 general elections. For this reason, the need to address certain issues regarding Nigeria’s electoral process becomes germane.
“We believe the engagements among stakeholders within the electoral process will chart a way forward to further guarantee the integrity of the electoral process.”
The organisers further disclosed that a policy brief containing recommendations and a reform roadmap would be released after the event and submitted to relevant government ministries and agencies.
They noted that at the previous edition, the Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Ola Olukoyede, presided over discussions focused on issues in the real estate sector.
