THE EXECUTIVE CHAIRMAN, BASSA LOCAL GOVERNMENT AREA, WELCOMES INEC OFFICIALS ON CUSTOMER CARE WEEK
Bassa LGA, October 9, 2025 — The Executive Chairman of Bassa Local Government Area, Hon. Joshua Sunday Riti, MNES, PhD, today welcomed officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to Bassa LGA as part of activities marking the INEC Customer Care Week, which commenced at the office of the Electoral Officer in Bassa.
In his address, Hon. Dr. Riti expressed appreciation to INEC for choosing Bassa LGA as a starting point for this year’s Customer Care Week. He commended the Commission for its continuous efforts in improving voter engagement and ensuring transparency in electoral processes.
The Chairman also acknowledged the presence of the Leader of the Bassa Legislative Arm, Rt. Hon. Markus David Sunimun, the Councilors, the Information Officer of Bassa Local Government Council, and officials of the National Orientation and Education (NOE) Unit of INEC — the department responsible for voter education, public enlightenment, and civic orientation.
Hon. Dr. Riti further appealed to INEC to consider taking voter registration exercises to rural communities, noting that many villagers find it difficult to travel to registration centers in Bassa town. He emphasized that permanent voter card (PVC) registration remains the only valid means for citizens to exercise their franchise.
This participation underscores Dr. Riti’s unwavering commitment to the welfare, rights, and development of his people.
