The National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) has directed its members in all the 36 states including the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja, to as matter of urgency ensure that they all get their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs).

The union in a statement titled, ‘GET YOUR PVC’, signed by the president, Alhaji Tajudeen Ibikunle Baruwa, directed all the state chairmen to ensure that all the union members in their respective states get their PVCs to enable them to exercise their franchise in 2023 general elections.

“The union plays very important role in the nation’s electoral process, being in partnership with the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

“It is therefore imperative that members of the union should participate actively and effectively in electing credible leaders that will determine the fate of teeming members of the union particularly and the entire nation generally.

“ Consequently, all the state councils are hereby directed to ensure that members of the union, their families and friends across the 36 states and all the 774 local councils take advantage of the extension of the continuous voter registration exercise to obtain their permanent voter cards, to enable them to vote for candidates of their choice in the coming elections,” the statement read.

He directed that all the state chairmen should ensure that all members of the union in their respective states carry out the directive.
