The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has advised Nigerians to take advantage of the ongoing voter registration exercise to collect their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs).
The Kebbi State Resident Electoral Commissioner, Alhaji Abubakar Dambo said the commission is now in the third phase of the voter registration exercise.
He stated this during a Stakeholders’ meeting held at the INEC office in Birnin Kebbi.
According to him, “the continuous voter registration exercise is aimed at enabling Nigerians who have attained the age of 18, those who lost their voter cards, and those seeking to transfer their registration or change polling units to visit any of the 225 registration centres across the state for the exercise.’
Alhaji Dambo said the exercise will continue until July 10.

The Resident Electoral Commissioner also disclosed that INEC has fixed June 20 for the by-election into the Kebbi State House of Assembly seat in Zuru Constituency following the recent death of the Speaker of the Assembly, Alhaji Muhammad Usman Zuru.
