The Federal Character Commission (FCC) and the Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC) have strengthened their partnership to ensure fair federal representation in recruitments, promotions and other personnel processes, in line with Federal Character Principles and the provisions of the Nigerian Constitution.
The renewed commitment was made on Tuesday during an interactive meeting between the FCC Committee on Works, Transport and Aviation and the management of the Nigerian Railway Corporation at the commission’s headquarters in Abuja.
Speaking at the meeting, Chairman of the FCC Committee on Works, Transport and Aviation, and the Federal Commissioner representing Enugu State, Hon. Peter Eze, said the engagement reflected the commission’s resolve to move from a reactive to a proactive approach in enforcing the Federal Character Principle.
He explained that the meeting formed part of the commission’s oversight responsibility over the Nigerian Railway Corporation and other Ministries, Departments and Agencies.
“We no longer want to be reactive to issues involving MDAs. We want to be proactive. We have reached a stage where we want to be strategic rather than merely administrative,” Eze said.
