Lagos State Independent Electoral Commission (LASIEC) will work harder to beat its own record, its chairman, Justice Ayotunde Phillips (rtd), has said.
Phillips spoke at a retreat organised for LASIEC Permanent Secretary management, staff and members as well as senior electoral officers at the Golden Tulip Hotel in FESTAC, Lagos.
She said the commission was taking note of the political and administrative changes and reforms taking place within and outside the country.
The commission’s desire to improve on its performance, she said, informed its decision to observe the elections in other parts of the world, including the United States presidential poll last November 8.
Phillips hailed Governor Akinwunmi Ambode for granting the commission permission to undertake those trips. She said the commission would justify the confidence reposed in it by conducting free, fair and credible elections.
