“If a BVAS is snatched, we already have a system in place that can deactivate that particular BVAS.”
“We deactivate it so that whoever snatches the device will not be able to do anything with the device because the device pushes the accreditation data automatically on its own even without the operator pushing a button. When it is idle, it pushes that accreditation data to the backend,” he said.NYSC portal
According to him, if hoodlums took the device to other places where they think they can manipulate the data on the device, the polling unit officer will report the incident.
He said, “If such a thing happens, the PO reports and from the backend, that device is deactivated so that the person who took away that device will not be able to do anything with the device.”JAMB Result
