The Independent National Electoral Commission’s (INEC) Staff Multi-Purpose Cooperative Society in Kaduna State has been honored with the 2023 Most Outstanding Cooperative Society in the Civil Service Sector Award.
Additionally, the President of the cooperative society and Head of the ICT Department (HoD) in Kaduna State, Mr. Umar Buhari Ali, has been bestowed with the Exemplary Leadership Award of Excellence for Cooperative Management and Development.

Following the initial nationwide assessment, CRASoN meticulously reviewed the winner’s profile and subjected its findings to voting by the CRASoN Panel of Jury and Assessors.
