“Christmas is a commemoration that connects the world to love, selflessness, sacrifice and solidarity; which are the virtues that Christ unambiguously propagated.

PVC Collection & Sundry Issues

Seven civil society organisations (CSOs) have decried the hitches in the ongoing distribution of permanent voter’s cards by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) while demanding an extension of the distribution for every day that INEC is unprepared.

Following the hitches, the CSOs asked INEC to ensure that its Citizens’ Contact Centre works optimally; create a dedicated desk for civil society organisations, media and citizens to escalate the issues being observed for quick resolution; create a mechanism to report INEC officials engaged in extortion or deliberately sharing misleading information to disenfranchise.It also asked INEC to contact citizens directly via SMS or email on the status and location of their cards.For more information, click here.
