To give civil personnel who had not yet acquired their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs), the Niger government announced Thursday and Friday as work-free days.
Dr. Emmanuel Musa, the commissioner for information, revealed this to reporters on Wednesday at Government House Minna while discussing the results of the state’s weekly Executive Council meeting.
According to Musa, the administration frequently emphasized how crucial the PVC was to citizens carrying out their civic duties.
The government stated that it did not want individuals, particularly civil servants, to lose out on the chance to exercise their constitutional right to vote.
” The Government of Niger State acknowledges the importance of workers in the democratic process, and is aware that the only way workers can give life to their aspiration for a worker-friendly government is through their votes.
” Consequently, Thursday and Friday have been declared work-free days in all government offices across the state, to enable all public and civil servants to pick their PVCs so they can perform their civic duty.”
He said that the state administration has implemented practical measures working with security organizations to address any risks to the state’s security.
Musa enlisted the aid of traditional and religious authorities to persuade the populace to offer trustworthy information about wicked people living among them.
He claimed that if security personnel had reliable information on suspected criminals, they would be able to capture them and bring them to justice.
