Students of Abia State University have been urged to participate actively in the ongoing Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) exercise, as part of efforts to increase youth involvement in Nigeria’s democratic process ahead of the 2027 elections.

The initiative, tagged “Make Your Mark: Continuous Voter Registration at ABSU,” calls on students to register and obtain their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs), emphasizing that the future of both Nigeria and Abia State lies in their hands.

According to the university’s Committee on Continuous Voter Registration, the exercise commenced on Tuesday, February 24, 2026, and will run until Friday, March 6, 2026. Students are encouraged to turn out in large numbers to complete their registration and collect their PVCs.

The campaign highlights the importance of voting, noting that it empowers students to influence policies affecting education, career opportunities, and national development. It also encourages students to inspire peers, friends, and family members to join the movement.

University authorities stressed that participating in the electoral process is not only a civic responsibility but also a powerful tool for demanding accountability and promoting good governance.

Students were further reminded that their vote represents their voice, urging them to “make it loud and clear” by taking part in the registration exercise and future elections.
