General Elections: Call Toll Free Line 622 To Report Issues
Given the significance of the upcoming Presidential Election, the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) has designated its Consumer Toll-Free Number 622 as the 2023 Presidential Election Incident Hotline.
The 622 number, according to a statement signed by NCC Executive Vice Chairman Professor Umar Garba Danbatta, is to be used by 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.
This step is intended to support the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in its patriotic commitment to conducting free and fair elections in Nigeria, according to Danbatta.
The Toll-Free Number 622 is the second-level complaints centre where consumers of telecommunications services can make direct calls.
However, in consideration of 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 considered it expedient to dedicate the Toll-Free Number 622 to accommodate all types of complaints on election day.
This is with a view to resolving such issues by contacting and conveying such to relevant agencies, authorities, or organisations for timely resolution.
The 622 Election Incident Monitoring Centre will be manned by top Management officials of the Nigerian Communications Commission. 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.
Members of the public are, therefore, invited to take advantage of the Election Incident Monitoring Centre Hotline, 622.
