The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that a total of 17 political parties participated in the poll.
Ogunfemi, who stated that the commission had discharged its duties without fear or favour, adjudged the poll free, fair and credible.
The OGESIEC boss, however, conceded that there was room for improvement on the conduct of council election.
“Election is a process and we can always learn from any shortcomings and improve on subsequent ones.
“The 2012 local government poll was not as effective as this and so we are sure that the next one will be better than this one,” she said.
