Gov Fashola declares Nov. 7 public holiday for civil servants to get their voter's card

Governor Fashola has declared Friday
November 7, as holiday for all public
servants in the state, so that they can collect
their Permanent Voter Card (PVC) from
INEC.
Distribution of the PVCs holds from Friday,
7 till Sunday, November 9. He also appealed
for the private sector to close early so that
members of staff can go and pick up their
cards. The governor also urged eligible
voters from age 18 and above, to register.
“You have to register as a voter to be
eligible to vote. We must take it
seriously to make sure our names are
in the voters register. Go to the polling
centre to collect your PVC. No business
or job can be more important than to
collect your PVC. Between November 7
and 9, those who want to collect the
PVC, should go out and collect them”,
he said.
Those who lost their temporary voter’s card
or have not registered before, can do so
when INEC conducts fresh registration
between 12 and 17 November.
