ensure transparency and credibility in the forthcoming election.

The
Chairman of Council and President of CIOTA, Dr. Bashir Jamoh, in a statement signed
by its Publicity Secretary, Mrs. Chizoba Anyika, said the election was
suspended following several complaints received by the National Executive Committee
(NEC) about the process such as Ad-Hoc Electoral Committee levying interested
members for expression of interest form without the approval of National Executive
Committee, NEC.
Other
complaints include non-publication of all vacant elective positions,
restriction of collection and submission of nomination forms to just one week
instead of the 5 weeks to election date as stipulated in the Chartered Institution
of Transport Administration of Nigeria, CIOTA Act, non-adherence to eligibility
criteria as contained in the Institute’s Act, and lack of transparency and
fairness in the entire process amongst other allegations, he said.
Jamoh
said “The National Executive Committee is under oath to serve the institution.
We had to take this decision to save the entire electoral process.”
According
to the institute, the positions that would become vacant by the end of 2022 are
President, Deputy President, National Secretary, Assistant National Secretary,
Provost, Treasurer, National Financial Secretary, Public Relations Officer, and
Auditor 1, 2, and 3.
It
was also said that the National President of the institute shall be a fellow of
the institute with at least five years of post-registration experience.
