Kano State Governor, Abba Kabir Yusuf, has directed the 44 local government chairmen in the state to work with the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to ensure that all uncollected Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) are distributed to their rightful owners, with particular attention given to women.
The governor issued the directive during the disbursement of ₦50,000 grants to 5,200 women drawn from the state's 44 local government areas at the Government House in Kano on Monday.
According to a statement released by the Governor’s Chief Press Secretary, Mustapha Muhammad, the move became necessary because thousands of registered voters, especially women, have yet to collect their PVCs from INEC offices.
Governor Yusuf said he had already engaged the State Ministry for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, as well as the leadership of the Association of Local Governments of Nigeria (ALGON), to ensure full compliance with the directive.
He also appealed to women and youths aged 18 years and above to collect their voter cards, safeguard them, and participate actively in the 2027 general elections.
In addition, the governor highlighted the achievements of the current administration and encouraged residents to support continuity in governance through the ballot.
During the event, Yusuf also assisted two physically challenged women by replacing their manually operated tricycles with electric-powered mobility tricycles to improve their movement and daily activities.
Beneficiaries of the monthly support scheme expressed appreciation for the governor’s gesture and pledged their continued support for the administration.
