Stakeholders in the pro-democracy movement in Nigeria on Friday called on the Independent National Electoral Commission to liaise with the Nigerian Universities Commission to ensure that there would be no classes or exams the week before elections to avoid disenfranchisement of students.

The organisations tabled the demands during a press conference in Abuja at the Centre for Journalism Innovation and Development, ConnectHub

The stakeholders include; Enough is Enough Nigeria, #FixPolitics, Kimpact Development Initiative, Reclaim Naija, Community Life Project, Electoral College Nigeria, Women Advocates and Research Development Centre and Yiaga Africa. Some others, they said, were asked to return on a later day beyond the deadline or after the election to collect their PVCs.

“Given the reported challenges, we ask that INEC do the following: inform Nigerians if it is still printing cards and when all the cards for registered voters will be available for collection, extend PVC collection to ensure that everyone whose cards were not found are reprinted, and there is a clear process for them to pick up the cards.
