Given the importance attached to the upcoming Presidential Election, the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) has dedicated its Consumer Toll-Free Number, 622, to serve as 2023 Presidential Election Incident Hotline to enable voters and members of the public across Nigeria to report any issues that may affect them, or others, during the elections on Saturday, February 25, 2023.
in a statement signed by the Executive Vice Chairman of the NCC, Professor Umar Danbatta, the Commission said the step is to support the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), in its patriotic commitment towards hitch-free elections in Nigeria.
The Toll-Free Number 622 is the second-level complaints centre through which consumers of telecommunications services are allowed to make calls directly to the Commission, to resolve issues concerning their telecommunications services which the service providers cannot do.
However, considering the critical nature of this election and to alleviate emergent issues that may arise at the voting centres or any parts of Nigeria thereof, the Commission has deemed it expedient to dedicate the Toll-Free Number 622 to accommodate all types of complaints on election day.
This resolves such issues by contacting and conveying such to relevant agencies, authorities, or organisations for timely resolution.
Top Management officials of the Nigerian Communications Commission will man the 622 Election Incident Monitoring Centre. The hotline will be open to the public from 8.00 a.m. to 6.00 p.m. during the Presidential and National Assembly elections.
Therefore, public members are invited to take advantage of the Election Incident Monitoring Centre Hotline, 622.
