NCC Dedicate Toll- Free Number 622 As Presidential Election Incident Hotline
The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) has designated it’s Consumer Toll-Free Number 622 to serve as the 2023 Presidential Election Incident Hotline in recognition of the significance attached to the upcoming election.
This will allow voters and members of the public throughout Nigeria to report any incidents that may affect them or others during the elections on Saturday, February 25, 2023.
This step is to support the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), in its patriotic commitment, to the conduct of hitch-free elections in Nigeria.
The Toll-Free Number 622 is the second-level complaints center 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 are unable to do.
However, in consideration of the critical nature of this election and to alleviate emergent issues that may arise at the voting centers 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 to resolve such issues by contacting and conveying such to relevant agencies, authorities, or organizations for timely resolution.
The 622 Election Incident Monitoring Centre will be manned by top Management officials of the Nigerian Communications NCC
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.
