THE KWARA GOVERNMENT HAS DECLARED WEDNESDAY A WORK-FREE DAY FOR PVC COLLECTION.

The Kwara State government has declared Wednesday a work-free day ahead of the upcoming general elections to allow civil servants to obtain Permanent Voters Cards (PVC).

According to a statement issued by the state Head of Service, Mrs Susan Modupe Oluwole, in Ilorin on Tuesday, Governor Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq of Kwara State approved the work-free day for state civil servants.

The approval was also intended to give workers enough time to obtain their PVCs from the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in order to participate in the upcoming general election, according to the statement.

“All those who have yet to obtain their voters card are urged to do so as soon as possible before the collection date expires,” the statement said.
