INEC gave the assurance in a statement by its spokesman Festus Okoye, in Abuja on Thursday.
The electoral umpire said all the processes and procedures leading to the elections were being finalised.
“The commission held its regular weekly meeting and deliberated on several issues, including the presidential and National Assembly elections,” said INEC. “It also discussed the governorship and state assembly elections and the pending elections in Enugu East senatorial district and the Esan Central/Esan West and Igueben federal constituencies in Edo.”
