She said the approval was aimed at giving an ample time to the workers to get their PVCs from the Independent National Electoral Commission to enable them participate in the upcoming general election.

“Those yet to get their voter cards are advised to immediately do so before the expiration of the collection date,” the statement said.

Meanwhile, Governor AbdulRazaq has sacked the Acting Provost of the College of Education, Ilorin, Dr. Jimoh Ayinla.
