Akinbiyi explained that the Act requested the commission to state the date of the election and appoint the place at which nomination papers are to be delivered.
He added that the Act also demands that the notice should be published in each constituency in respect of which an election is to be held.
The News Agency of Nigeria reports that both the Presidential and National Assembly elections will hold on Feb. 16, 2019, while the governorship and state Houses of Assembly elections are slated for March 2.
