The Lagos State Government has declared work-free days for public servants in the state to collect their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs).
This was contained in a circular issued by the Lagos State Head of Service (HoS) Hakeem Muri-Okunola. He said several cadres of public servants have been scheduled to pick their PVCs on designated days.
“Consequent upon the extension of the collection of Permanent Voters’ Cards by the Independent National Electoral Commission, it is hereby notified for the general information that all public servants who are yet to collect their Permanent Voters’ Cards from designated INEC Centres are encouraged to do so before Sunday, January 29, 2023, as it is a civic responsibility to vote.
“To this end, Mr Governor has graciously approved a work-free day to enable public servants to collect their PVCs from their respective local government/local council development areas…”
