The Senate on Tuesday summoned the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission,   Attahiru Jega, to appear before it on   Wednesday(today).‎
Jega is   expected to brief senators on INEC's readiness   for the forthcoming March 28 and April 11  elections.

The senate, which resumed plenary   on Tuesday after a 33-day break, took the decision following a motion by its Leader, Victor Ndoma-Egba.
Ndoma-Egba, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, while presenting the motion asked Jega to come with a card reader for demonstration before the lawmakers.

The Minority Leader, George Akume, who contributed to the motion, suggested that   the service chiefs should also be invited since they were blamed by INEC for the postponement of the polls hitherto scheduled for February 14 and 28.
But Senate President David Mark ruled that   summoning the service chiefs was not necessary at the moment.
The Senators,   through voice vote, approved the invitation of Jega, while agreeing that the invitation of the service chiefs would be determined by Jega's submission on Wednesday.
