The Independent National Electoral Commission has extended the collection of the Permanent Voter Cards by one week.<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n
\nThis was disclosed by the National Commissioner and Chairman,
\nInformation and Voter Education Committee, Festus Okoye ,on Saturday.<\/p>\n

This is the second time the commission is extending the collection of PVCs due to the progress recorded so far.<\/p>\n

The statement read, \u201cThe Commission met today, Saturday, 29th January 2023 a day after its meeting with the Resident Electoral Commissioners from the 36 States of the Federation and the Federal capital Territory, Abuja and deliberated on a number of issues, including the reports from RECs on the ongoing collection of Permanent Voters Cards in its 774 Local Government Offices nationwide.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt will be recalled that at the meeting with RECs on Friday, 28th January 2023, the Chairman of the Commission, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu indicated that the Commission will not hesitate to consider additional measures to ensure that all citizens have ample opportunity to collect their PVCs ahead of the General Election.<\/p>\n

\u201cHaving reviewed reports from all the States of the Federation, the Commission is encouraged by the progress made so far as more Nigerians troop out daily to collect their PVCs.<\/p><\/div>\n

\n\u201cArising from reports from the various States and discussions with Resident Electoral Commissioners, the Commission has decided to further extend PVC collection in all its Local Government Offices nationwide by an additional one week.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe ongoing collection of PVCs nationwide will therefore continue and end on 5th February 2023.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is the second time the Commission is extending PVC collection nationwide and this will be the last extension of the exercise. Collection period has further been extended by an additional two hours and will start at 9am and end at 5pm daily including Saturdays and Sundays.<\/p>\n

\u201cThose that engaged in double and multiple registration should not bother visiting any of the Commission\u2019s Offices as the Commission did not print their PVCs.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Commission will continue to act on all reported cases of sharp practices during the ongoing PVC collection and will ensure that no Nigerian is disadvantaged and all those that carried out valid registration have an opportunity of collecting their PVCs.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Commission once again salutes the patience and doggedness of citizens.\u201d<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
