A budget of ₦873.778 billion has been suggested by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to hold the general elections in 2027.
In order to finance its operations in 2026, the electoral authority is also urging approval of a separate ₦171 billion.
Prof. Joash Amupitan, the chairman of INEC, revealed this on Thursday during his defense of the Commission’s budget recommendations before the National Assembly Joint Committee on Electoral Matters.
The almost ₦874 billion allocated for the 2027 elections, according to Amupitan, is distinct from the anticipated ₦171 billion 2026 budget, which is intended to pay for regular administrative tasks, by-elections, and off-cycle gubernatorial contests.
According to a breakdown of the 2027 forecast, operational costs will account for ₦379.748 billion, administrative costs for ₦92.317 billion, technology for ₦209.206 billion, capital expenditures for ₦154.905 billion, and miscellaneous items for ₦42.608 billion.
The number does not, however, include a recent proposal from the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) for an increase in salary for corps members who work as ad hoc staff during elections.
Amupitan clarified that even if the Ministry of Finance set a ₦140 billion budget ceiling for 2026, the Commission needs ₦171 billion to fulfill its responsibilities.
The planned amount was said to include ₦1.4 billion for capital projects, ₦42.63 billion for election-related activities, ₦109 billion for staff costs, and ₦18.7 billion for overheads.
The envelope budgeting approach was criticized by the head of INEC, who claimed that it did not account for the operational reality of an electoral agency that frequently needs flexible and urgent funding, particularly in the run-up to significant elections. In order to improve accountability and transparency in the case of technological difficulties, he further underlined the necessity of a specialized communications network.
While Rep. Billy Osawaru, the chairman of the House Committee on Electoral Matters, argued for placing INEC’s budget on first-line charge to ensure timely disbursements and improve planning, Senator Adams Oshiomhole spoke during the budget defense and called for the elimination of the envelope system.
After then, a resolution suggesting a one-time release of INEC’s yearly allotment was adopted by the Joint Committee. Additionally, it revealed that it would examine the NYSC’s independent ₦32 billion proposal to increase the allowances for corps members to ₦125,000.
Referencing the INEC Result Viewing portal controversies from past elections, Rep. Bayo Balogun cautioned the Commission against overpromising and underdelivering while promising legislative support.
He claimed that even though the Electoral Act did not specifically support it, the portal raised public expectations of real-time result transmission.
The National Assembly’s pledge to provide sufficient funds to allow the Commission to adequately prepare for the general elections in 2027 was reiterated by Senator Simon Lalong, the chairman of the Senate Committee on INEC.
