#INEC Chairman #Attahiru #Jega said on Wednesday in #Calabar that there was still an intolerable high degree of apathy and low level of participation in the electoral process in the country.
Speaking at the opening of a two-day retreat of the National Inter-Agency Advisory Committee on Voter Education and Publicity Jega said this was inspite of the enormous resources to voter and civic education being committed by the commission and other bodies.
