He said Nigeria cannot afford to lose gains made in the response efforts during the election.

According to him, the process would be protected from the spread of the virus, saying personal protective equipment would be provided for electoral officers, just as all the materials to be used and as well as the voting environment would be properly disinfected.

He charged candidates and officials of the 17 political parties to take part in the election to lead by example during the exercise.
