The Independent National Electoral Commission has expressed hope that its cash request presented to the Central Bank of Nigeria would be met on or before Tuesday.
INEC National Commissioner and Chairman of its Committee on Information and Voter Education, Festus Okoye, disclosed this to journalists on Sunday.
The commission had earlier said it presented its cash requirement for prosecuting the forthcoming elections to the CBN, in face of shortage or scarcity of naira notes in circulation.
The commission had explained that even though it does most of its payments through online transfers, some specific services have to be paid for in cash.
