He explained that the commission would, however, commence the distribution of the uncollected PVCs at the ward level between Jan. 16 and 21.

Shehu said the decision was aimed at ensuring easy collection of the remaining PVCs.

He said the engagement with the critical stakeholders was aimed at updating the people with information about the level of preparations for the 2019 general elections.

The commissioner appealed to the religious leaders and other stakeholders to expedite action in sensitising voters during their sermon to shun political violence.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the interactive meeting was attended by members of Jama’atu Nasiru-Kabara Isalam (JNI), Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) and other stakeholders.
