1.38m PVCs yet to be collected in Lagos – REC

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in Lagos State on Thursday said some 1.38 million Permanent Voter’s Cards (PVCs) were still uncollected in the state.

The Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC), Lagos State, Mr Sam Olumekun, gave the figure in an interview with newsmen in Lagos.

“We still have about 1.38 million PVCs uncollected as we speak. Only about 15 per cent of the 2017 new registrants whose cards have been produced have come to pick their cards. It is very poor.

“We have also added close to 750, 000 new registrants, whose cards are still going to be produced and distributed,” he said.
