| US Ambassador to Nigeria, James Entwistle |
The Ambassador of the United States to
Nigeria, Mr. James Entwistle, has applauded the decision of the
Independent National Electoral Commission to use the Permanent Voter
Card in the general elections which commenced on Saturday.
The ambassador, who spoke with
journalists at the International Conference Centre, venue of the
National Collation Centre of the election results, on Sunday said
Nigeria’s PVC involved superior technology which his state of Virginia
in the US needed to.....
copy.
He said, “I am very impressed by the
decision of INEC to use technology in this election. The Permanent Voter
Cards are very high-tech.
“They are more high tech than my voter
card from the state of Virginia in the US. My voter card does not have
biometric. It does not have my fingerprint. The high-tech gives the
process more integrity.
“I congratulate INEC on taking the part of High-tech. I think we need to come and study it so that we can use it in my country.”
The ambassador expressed hope that INEC would address the challenges experienced in the use of card readers and move forward.
Share your thoughts....thanks!
