Ahead of the 2019 general elections, Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, has said over eight million Permanent Voter Cards, PVCs, were yet to be collected by their respective owners.
Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, the commission’s chairman said, “we haven’t made much progress in the last two years but we have made elaborate arrangements with the states to ensure that the cards are collected”. Yakubu spoke when the European Union Election Follow-up Mission to Nigeria, Civil Society Organisations and other stakeholders compared notes with the INEC at a roundtable organised by European Union delegation to Nigeria and West Africa, weekend.
