Over 400,000 PVCs have not arrived in Lagos from Abuja - INEC

About 400, 000 Permanent Voters Cards (PVCs) are  still being expected  in Lagos State from Abuja for distribution to their owners, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in the  state said yesterday.

The Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC), Mr Akin Orebiyi, told reporters  that  PVCs’ distribution has risen to 62.7 per cent  from  38 per cent last week.

He said: “But we are still working seriously because we know that quite a number of people are still yet to collect their PVCs; we want to make sure that they are able to collect these cards.

“As we speak, out of 5,905, 000 cards for Lagos State, we have distributed 3,654,000, but I also need to say that out of 5.9 million, we are still awaiting the arrival of about 400,000 cards.

“As soon as we are able to receive them, we will also be able to push them out so that people can come out to collect them.

“We are expecting additional cards in practically all the 20 local government areas,’’ he said. - The Nation
