Responding to a question, the chief press secretary to the INEC chairman, Kayode Idowu, said “the Card Reader units have been broadly subjected to simulation Quality Assurance, Integrity and Functionality tests and INEC has full confidence in their performance for election purposes.
“The device has also been subjected to Performance and Conformance Test, both locally and in Texas, United States, laboratories by the Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) Research Centre, and found to be of the highest quality grade.
“Besides all these, and with additional time resulting from the rescheduling of the 2015 general elections, the Commission has directed that Stress Test be conducted on the Card Reader device in mock election scenarios – two statesin each of the six geo-political zones – ahead of the new election dates.
