Members of the National Youth Council of Nigeria thronged the streets and markets of Ijebu North yesterday to educate commercial drivers, market women and others on the need to partake in the ongoing CVR exercise.

The reputable forum through its Coordinator; Comrade Senbadejo Olawale said it embarked on this exercise when it realised that the entire public are taking the CVR exercise lightly and therefore; feels reluctant to set aside few hours for the ongoing registration.


According to him, Nigerians should act rather than complain. Without the PVC, the probability of electing one's preferred candidate becomes impossible. The exercise was carried out in conjunction with bodies like the Man O' War, Red Cross, Midas Touch Innovation and St Enoch Orphanage Home and Oke Agbo Youth Forum. Comrade Olawale further claimed that the sensitization programme will go a very long way in enlightening the people on the power and importance of the PVC.

While giving her thought, the treasurer; Mrs Omolola Seriki stated how good it feels to be in the midst of the people. She encouraged them to express their feelings by electing a credible candidate come 2019. She further explained that this is not achievable without the PVC.

The exercise also included a bit of environmental sanitation and it was reportedly a successful and peaceful outing.
