The Independent National Electoral Commission has extended the ongoing distribution of permanent voter cards in the FCT and 11 states by two days.

The extension was disclosed by the INEC’s Head, Voter Education and Publicity, Mr. Okezie Nwankwo on Sunday in Abuja

Some people had earlier complained that the initial three days scheduled for the exercise by INEC was too short. The exercise which began on August 15 and initially scheduled to end on August 17 will now end on August 19

According to the statement, the extension is expected to give more people the opportunity to get the cards.
It stated that the time for the collection of the cards remained between 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The states are Yobe and Bauchi (North East); Jigawa and Sokoto (North West); FCT and Kwara (North Central); Anambra and Ebonyi (South East); Ondo and Oyo (South West), and Delta and Cross River (South South).
