The minister called on all Nigerians to download and make use of the application to report any situation or incident in and around their polling unit to the Ministry Inter-Agency Situation Room for a prompt response.
A statement by the ministry’s Director of Press, Ajibola Afonja, said Aregbesola spoke on Friday while addressing officers manning the Ministry Inter-Agency Situation Room.
The minister, who was in the company of the Permanent Secretary, Dr. Shuaib Belgore, directed that officers must be prompt in response to incidents reported by Nigerians using the app.
The statement partly read, “I know you have been trained for tomorrow’s assignment to ensure that you respond promptly to all incident reports generated during the election exercise tomorrow.
“We have been in the media space advertising to Nigerians to download the app and give us a real-time report of any incident, so ensure that you don’t disappoint Nigerians,” the minister directed.
“You will recall that the Federal Government developed and launched the Nigeria Internal Security and Public Safety Alert System (N-Alerts) in May 2022 for Nigerians to send alerts to all security agencies in the Ministry of Interior in real-time.”
