The nonchallant attitude of Imo indigenes towards collection of their Permanent Voter Card will soon compel the state government to adopt stringent measures to ensure compliance.

Governor Rochas Okorocha said this while interacting with journalists in the Government House, Owerri on Saturday.

The governor said Imo residents may now start using their PVC to access facilities such as salary, trading in the market and admission into schools in the state.

The controversial governor said the state government could no longer fold its arms and allow the present situation to continue.

Okorocha said, “The government is going to initiate the policy of ‘ operation- show- your – PVC ’ before you can enter the market to buy or sell and before you can do business or get anything from the government , and before your child can be admitted into schools .

“Even before workers receive their salaries from the government , they must show their PVC . We cannot allow the
‘I – don’ t – care- attitude’ of our people towards the exercise to continue unchecked .

Okorocha urged the religious institutions to assist in the efforts to raise awareness about the benefits inherent in collection of PVC.
