As for those who haven't already registered to vote, this also a time for you to register.
Fun FACT; One of the major advantages of the PVC is , it can serve as a means of identification, its the closet thing to national id card or social security number for citizens of Nigeria, so even if you have no intentions of voting, make it a goal to be up yours.
