“We are determined to ensure that the CVR in all the 192 Wards across Edo State will proceed on Monday, 27th May, 2024 as scheduled. 

“However, in view of the emergency situation, the State Headquarters will not serve as a registration centre as planned. Instead, the exercise will now take place in our Ikpoba Okha Local Government Area office located at 16 Customs Road, Off Benin/Auchi Road, Benin City.
