Some national dailies had reported that the cards are ready
The Independent National Electoral Commission is yet to take delivery of the 40 million permanent voter cards it contracted for production, the commission has said.
The commission made this clarification on Thursday after national dailies (not Daily Times) reported that the cards are ready, and that the Commission has the cards in its kitty.
?What the Chairman of INEC, Attahiru Jega, said on Wednesday when course participants from the Defence Intelligence School, Abuja, visited INEC was that the Commission had contracted out the production of the first batch of 40 million permanent voter cards, and hopes that all registered voters would have been issued Permanent Voter Cards before the end of 2013,? Kayode Idowu, the commission?s spokesman said in a statement on Thursday.
