The Niger State chapter of the Nigeria Labour Congress has
threatened to punish any civil servant that deliberately refused to collect
his/her Permanent Voters Card, PVC, ahead of the general elections in the
state.
The state NLC chairman, Comrade Idris Lakpene, who gave the
warning in Minna, said those who refused to comply would be stopped from
collecting their salaries or faced suspension.
The chairman decried the situation where citizens of this
country would fail to take their Civic responsibility serious
Lakpene stated, “We are considering a plan to stop workers
in the state who have no PVCs from collecting their monthly salary.”
He also charged civil servants in the state to be fully involved in the political process, arguing, “PVCs would enable us to elect leaders that can better our working conditions and to bring meaningful development to our state.”
