Nigeria - "The Continuous Voter Registration has come to an end and INEC has other things to concentrate on since election is a matter of a chain of events.
"Before the end of the CVR the commission as at last week had 10 million uncollected PVCs in its possession, now
with the end of the CRV there are additional 14 million registrant cards to be processed within 165 days.
"People need to come and collect their PVCs; it is not just about registering, collection is the most important thing. When people register, the collection is always less than 50 per cent.
"We need to find a way to see what we can do about collection so we have decided to partner with NCC to alert Nigerians on the status of their cards."
■ A National Commissioner of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Soyebi Adedeji, explaining that the electoral body is partnering with the Nigerian Communication Commission (NCC) to send messages to owners of the uncollected Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs).
