Mr. Ijalaye, who tragically passed away on Monday, had just returned from attending the commission’s regular quarterly meeting held in Abuja.

In a statement issued by Mr Sam Olumekun, the National Commissioner and Chairman of the Information and Voter Education Committee, INEC extended its heartfelt condolences to the bereaved family of the late REC.

The commission prayed for the repose of his soul and asked for divine comfort for his loved ones during this difficult time. Mr. Ijalaye, originally from Owo in Ondo State, was born in 1958.

He completed his undergraduate studies with a Bachelor’s degree in Law (LLB) from the University of Ife, now known as Obafemi Awolowo University, in 1982. He was subsequently called to the Nigerian Bar (BL) in 1983.
