More than 386,000 Permanent Voter Cards are awaiting collection in Ondo State, INEC declared in Akure on Thursday.

The head of INEC’s Voter Education, Publicity, Gender and Civil Society Organisations in the state, Mrs Olufunmike Segun-Osifeso, made the declaration when she spoke with the News Agency of Nigeria.

“As of the last count on Friday, 1,686,082 PVCs out of the 2,072,092 PVCs received from Abuja have been collected leaving 386,010 cards yet to be collected.

“A lot of youths and women have been collecting their cards since the collection moved to the ward level more than two weeks ago.’’ She said.

She attributed the faster rate of collection to INEC’s sensitisation programme which involved youths and women.

She said INEC had also created an Inclusivity Department to make for easier collection of the cards by the physically challenged.
