Youth Group Launches PVC Campaign in Kaduna

The Social Youth Movement (SYM) launched the ‘One Million March for PVC’ campaign in Kaduna to intensify efforts in promoting voter registration among Nigerians, particularly the youth. Mr.

Okeik Christoph, a representative of SYM, stated that the movement is non-partisan and solely committed to enhancing civic participation and voter registration. The campaign aims to create awareness about the importance of the Permanent Voter Card (PVC) as a means for citizens to voice their votes.

Christoph lamented the low voter participation in previous elections, noting that only a small fraction of eligible voters ultimately determines the country's leadership. He emphasized the mantra "no PVC, no voice; no PVC, no vote," urging every eligible Nigerian to register and participate in the electoral process.

The SYM plans to sustain community sensitization and engage in social media campaigns to encourage young Nigerians to register. The campaign collaborates with the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to raise awareness about the ongoing Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) exercise.
