Centre urges women to get voters’ card

The Director General of the National Centre for Women Development, Mrs Mary Ekpere-Eta, has called on women to take advantage of the ongoing continuous voter registration and register.

Ekpere-Eta in a statement yesterday said obtaining the Permanent Voters Card (PVC) was the first step for women to vote persons interested in restructuring the country to power. She stressed the need for girls, who turned 18 years and other women qualified to vote, to make out time to register at INEC designated centres. 

She maintained that women can only speak on developmental challenges that affect their communities, such as corruption, unemployment and poverty, by getting PVCs to vote those who can address these issues.
