Lagos cancels monthly sanitation for PVCs

Jamiu Yisa

The Lagos State Government has announced the cancellation of the environmental sanitation exercise scheduled to take place on Saturday, 31 January, 2015.

The monthly environmental sanitation exercise normally entails restriction of movement of vehicles and residents for three hours, between 7 and 10am.

However, with the state yet to achieve up to 60 percent success in the collection of Permanent Voters’ Cards (PVCs), the government has decided to cancel the exercise to enable the people of the state to collect their PVCs from the various INEC offices.

The general elections start 14 February, with the presidential election.
