The Administrative Secretary of the Commission, Mr Shehu Wahab, who made the disclosure in Makurdi, said out of the number, 21,968 were male, while 22,357 were females.
According to him, the third quarter of the exercise, which started on 3rd January this year ended on 23rd March, 2022, while the 4th quarter will commence on 11th April and end on 3rd June, 2022.
Mr Wahab said INEC on 8th March this year deployed registration to council wards as a deliberate policy to take the exercise closer to the people.
