The chairman of the support group, Ahamad Tijjani, pointed out that Jega’s achievements in the academic sector and as the chairman of INEC stands him out.
He stated that the former INEC chairman also contributed to the emergence of democracy by opposing military rule during his tenure as president of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) in the 1990s.
