THE EMERGENCE OF INEC COOPERATIVE SOCIETY

The Society known at inception as INEC Staff Cooperative, Investment and Credit Society was formed in February, 2005 through the idea and practical steps taken by some few members of staff of INEC Edo State and those on inter-state transfer to the State inside the Operations’ office of the State Headquarters, Benin City to meet the welfare needs of staff.

The following are the visionary and life changing personalities [majority of them have served well and have retired from the service of the Commission].

  • Mr. Friday Iweka, the pioneer President of the Societ
  • Mr. A. U. Umoru
  • Late Mr. Austin Agho
  • Mr. Kayode Olawale
  • Mr. Felix T. Daramola
  • Mr. J. O. Omotiloye the only pioneer member who is still in service.

God used them to set up the Cooperative against all odds of a bitter experience of a failed Welfare Scheme earlier put together for staff in the State.

ABOUT US -Formation

The registration of the Society was done on 3rd of March, 2005 by the Edo State Ministry of Business, Trade and Cooperative with Certificate No. 6212 and its subsequent change of name to INEC Edo Staff Multi-Purpose Cooperative Society in line with the regulations.
