#BBB NEWS| I’ll Recommend INEC’s PVC To My Country – US Ambassador

The Ambassador of the United States of America, to Nigeria, Mr. James  Entwistle, on Sunday applauded the decision of the Independent National Electoral Commission to deploy technology for the conduct of 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 polls results, said Nigeria’s Permanent Voter Card 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.”
