Former Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) Resident Electoral Commissioner, Mike Igini, has arrived in Asaba, Delta State, ahead of BEL Dialogue 2026, where he will serve as Chairman of the Occasion at the governance-focused event.
Preparations for BEL Dialogue 2026 gathered momentum on Thursday as Mike Igini, Esq., former Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC) of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), arrived at Asaba Airport ahead of the highly anticipated event.
Igini, who will serve as the Chairman of the Occasion, was received at the airport by the Chairman of the BEL Dialogue Advisory Board, Pharm. Paul Enebeli, alongside members of the BEL Dialogue Committee.
His arrival marks another key milestone in the countdown to BEL Dialogue 2026, a gathering expected to bring together thought leaders, policymakers, civic advocates, professionals and young leaders to engage in conversations on Nigeria's democratic future and the pursuit of accountable governance.
Widely recognised for his contributions to electoral administration and democratic reforms in Nigeria, Igini is expected to play a significant role during the dialogue, where participants will examine issues surrounding leadership, electoral integrity, public accountability and nation-building.
Organisers describe BEL Dialogue as a platform designed to foster meaningful conversations that inspire responsible leadership and strengthen democratic institutions through informed public engagement.
With the arrival of the event's chairman, anticipation continues to build as delegates and invited guests prepare for what promises to be one of the major governance and public policy conversations of the year.
