He also said that the police and other complementary security agencies were ready for the elections in the area.
Longe said that the distribution of the materials was monitored under tight security from the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) office to the 13 local government areas of the state.
“At about 7.30 p.m on Wednesday Feb. 20, all the distribution was concluded as items and vehicles were escorted under tight security to the 13 local government INEC offices across the state.
“Let me assure the people of Nasarawa state that the sensitive materials at INEC offices are secured,” he said.
