Boma Waribor, Post Graduate student of the institution said the seamless appeal of the RSU e-voting is another reminder of the imperative of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, to embrace e-voting to rid the nation’s polity of cost intensive and rancour filled elections.

Others elected into the new RSU SUG include Beta Beatrice Kpobari, Allision Precious, Secretary General and Maduba Chiweuba, Welfare Secretary.
