UNICAL Alumni Launch Voter Registration Campaign in Abuja

The University of Calabar Graduates Elite Club, led by President Dr. Chioma Uzo Udegbunam, initiated a voter registration awareness campaign in major markets in Abuja, including Garki Main Market, Garki International Market, and Wuse Market.

The campaign aimed to create awareness about the ongoing voter registration exercise and educate traders on how to register and collect their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs). During the campaign, 1,000 flyers containing voter education information were distributed.

Dr. Udegbunam highlighted the importance of mobilizing traders and addressing the widespread apathy among residents regarding the voter registration process.

She noted that many people were unaware of the registration process and the steps required to replace lost PVCs. The campaign received positive feedback from local market leaders, including Mr.

Onyawan Chukwu, Chairman of Garki International Market, who commended the initiative for its potential to benefit democratic development. The club plans to sustain the campaign across the Federal Capital Territory.
