The Lagos State
government has ordered the closure of all markets in the state today.
The closure is to
enable all market men and women to obtain their Permanent Voter Cards (PVC).
The order was
passed down to the market men and women through their various market heads on
Friday.
The state
government had declared yesterday a work-free day for its workers for the same
purpose.
It appealed to the
private sector in the state to grant their workers half day on Friday to enable
them to obtain their PVCs.
However, only a few
companies and schools granted the request. The collection of the PVCs ends
tomorrow.
This will however
be subject to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) going ahead
with the conduct of the general elections on February 14 and 28.
