At the beginning of every year, we hear these questions; "What are your goals for this year?" OR "What’s your New Year Resolution?" But sometimes, there's the struggle to fight against resistance when we want to achieve our goals...Other times, it's simply a matter of gratification.

With the general elections less than two years away, Nigerians from 18 years and above are advised to register and obtain their permanent voters' card (PVC) to protect their rights and democracy. When you register and collect your permanent voters' card (PVC) you exercise your right to select credible leaders who would in turn provide social welfare, good road networks, security, and other dividends of democracy. You can register and obtain your permanent voters' card via: www.cvr.inecnigeria.org. Take action today and let's do away with voter apathy by participating in the exercise and making our democracy strong.
