Wednesday is a public holiday in Kwara for PVC collection

The announcement recommended anyone who had not yet received their voter cards do so as soon as possible before the collection date expired.

The governor of Kwara State, AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, has made January 25 a public holiday so that government workers can get their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs).

The Head of Service, Susan Oluwole, revealed this in a statement on Tuesday.

She said that the approval was given so that the workers could get their PVCs from the Independent National Electoral Commission in time for the next general election.

In the meantime, Dr. Jimoh Ayinla, the Acting Provost of the College of Education in Ilorin, has been fired by Governor AbdulRazaq.
