The Electoral Act Amendment Bill 2021 was signed into law by President Muhammadu Buhari.
On Friday about 12:30 p.m., the signing ceremony took place within the Council Chambers of the Presidential Villa in Abuja.
The Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission INEC, Mahmood Yakubu, and the President of the Senate, Ahmed Lawan, were among those present when the President signed the law.
The president’s approval comes only days after a coalition of civil society organizations held a rally demanding that he sign the modified constitution.
