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.
