Newly appointed Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) Prof. Attahiru Jega has promised not to let Nigerians down in their expectations of credible, free
and fair elections in 2011.
Jega said this on phone in a brief reaction to Xinhua's question on his new appointment.
He replaced the controversial Prof. Maurice Iwu who conducted the 2007 general elections. Also appointed are ten National Commissioners.
Jega's appointment was made public on Tuesday after President Goodluck Jonathan got the approval of the Council of State (CoS).
He was one time president of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU).
