PVC: Niger declares 2-day holiday 

The Niger state governor, Alhaji Abubakar Sani Bello, has declared Thursday, 30th June, 2022 and Friday, 1st July, 2022 work-free days to enable civil servants and other public office holders participate in the voter registration exercise.

The governor stated this in a statement issued Wednesday in Minna by his chief press secretary,  Mrs Mary Noel-Berje. 

He said,  “this is in view of the critical need for all Nigerlites of 18 years and above to register and obtain their Permanent Voters Cards (PVCs).”

The governor directed all commissioners, special advisers, and top government officials to return to their local government areas to sensitise and mobilise the general public to register and obtain their permanent voters cards.
