The Chairman made the disclosure on Monday, June 15 2015. while speaking at a retreat titled "2015 general elections:Lessons and the way forward" in Abuja
He said:
" we have done our best as commission under very difficult circumstances and the major regrets as i always acknowledged is that a major undertaking we made when we resumed at the commission was to have a separate salary structure for the members of the staff of the commission, but we have not been able to achieve this."
"And obviously this is one area we need to do a lot of work and put in a lot of efforts as we move towards the future and to improve.But apart from that, i don't think we have done badly in terms of promoting the welfare and well being of the member's of the staff."
" Again as i said, we could not have satisfied the expectations of everybody.We believe we have done our best.I must say not all of you are happy with the measures we have introduced as a commission."
Jega is expected to leave office in June 30. He has also said he has no interest in tenure elongation.
Good for him.
