See Reason Why INEC Extended Collection of PVC to Monday Feb. 11th
On Friday 8th February 2019 was supposed to be deadline for the collection of Permanent Voter's Card but the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, extended the deadline for the collection of PVCs to Monday February 11.
According to INEC Chairman, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, he said the deadline was extended as a result of calls and social media appeals from the general public to extend the time.
He told Newsmen that;
“In the last couple of days, we have been inundated by calls from Nigerians to review the current process of collection of Permanent Voters’ Cards. In response, the Commission has taken the following decisions: “The collection of PVCs scheduled to end today Friday 8th February 2019 is hereby extended nationwide to Monday 11th February 2019. This will include Saturday and Sunday. The collection of PVCs will now take place from 9am to 6pm daily. “All State offices are hereby directed to review the procedure for the collection of PVCs and dedicate all the staff of the Local Government offices to the collection process. Staff is enjoined to be civil in attending to citizens and to escalate issues that they cannot immediately resolve to their superiors.”
