The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in Lagos State says it has directed its Electoral Officers (EOs) to move to 245 Registration Areas across the state for the distribution of Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs).
Mr Femi Akinbiyi, the Public Relations Officer of INEC in the state, spoke with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Monday in Lagos.
Akinbiyi said that the new Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC), Mr Akin Orebiyi had directed the officers to ensure that eligible voters yet to collect their PVCs are able to receive them at their wards.
“The REC has directed the EOs to move the cards closer to the people after consultation with the relevant stakeholders in the local governments.
“Even in the riverine areas, our staff will be staying with the communities for the distribution,“ he said.
Akinbiyi said that the step was in line with the directive to decentralise the collection of PVCs, to bring them closer to the electorate.
The INEC PRO urged Lagos residents to pick up their cards at the centres across the state.
He said that a lot of cards produced were awaiting collection at various centres.
Akinbiyi said that the PVCs should be collected on or before Jan. 31.
NAN reports that the PVCs, according to the commission, can be picked up in 19 centres in Lagos Island Local Government...........
