The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has extended the deadline for collection of Permanent Voter Cards to Sunday, 8th February 2015.
This information was contained in a statement issued by the Chief Press Secretary to INEC Chairman, Mr. Kayode Idowu in Abuja on Sunday.
He said this information supersedes the earlier deadline of Saturday, 31st January 2015.
Idowu said the extension was intended to give registered voters yet to collect their PVC the opportunity to do so in readiness for the February 2015 general elections.
He said, “INEC hereby calls on duly registered persons not to delay in going to collect their cards before the expiration of the new deadline.
“The Commission reaffirms its determination to make the 2015 elections free, fair, credible and peaceful; and urges all stakeholders, including voters, to spare no effort in working towards the same objective.”
