I'm a Nigerian and I believe we are all about solving problems as a people.

Reading this story was frankly disheartening.

I think I may help INEC have a solution. A simple and minimally costly one.

Create 240,000 (number of polling units) bank accounts across all the banks in Nigeria.

This should be done using the polling units name, number and INEC as account name.

INEC funds the account with the calculated amount of money required for the running of the polling unit.

Have account no 240,001, accessible via app to INEC Chair, ED Finance in HQ and state RECs.

This account will hold a percentage of the total funds as a reserve from which extra funds requested via email can be sent to those polling unit accounts requiring it on the day.

Recommended process will also help with record keeping as the transactions are automatically logged or have a mail trail.

Install the necessary bank apps for the polling unit on the 80,000 PDAs already bought for the election.

Only the REC and his approved representatives (polling unit head) can access said accounts.

As expenses arise, they carry out transactions as we do on a daily basis.

After all, the government has said we should all go cashless.

So why is the same government insisting on spending cash?!!

My people, abeg how una see am?
