He said, “This bill seeks to amend the provision of the Act, to reinstate the position that the two critical positions to be appointed by the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria be expressly and mandatorily from each region of the country for the effective running and administration of the objectives of setting up of the commission.”
The lawmaker noted that the FCC was primarily established with the fundamental responsibility to promote, monitor and enforce compliance with the principles of proportional sharing of all bureaucratic, economic, media, and political posts at all levels of government. The lawmaker, therefore, proposed an amendment to Section 9 of the Act by adding a new paragraph to the provisions, which read, “The President shall put into consideration in the appointment of the secretary that the positions of the secretary and the chairman appointed for the commission shall not be from the same region of the country in compliance with the principles of Federal Character.”All rights reserved.
