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.
