Senate wants buhari to reconstitute federal character commission

According to recent news reports, the Nigerian Senate has passed a resolution urging President Muhammadu Buhari to reconstitute the Federal Character Commission (FCC).

The FCC is a statutory body established by the Federal Character Commission Act of 1996 to ensure that appointments and recruitment into public offices are distributed fairly and equitably across the six geo-political zones of the country.

The Senate's resolution was prompted by concerns that the FCC has been without a chairman and other members for several years, which has hindered its ability to effectively carry out its mandate.

In a statement, the Senate President, Ahmad Lawan, said that the resolution was passed to ensure that the FCC is reconstituted to enable it to discharge its responsibilities effectively.

The resolution also urged the President to ensure that the reconstituted FCC is composed of members who are knowledgeable and experienced in the field of public service and administration.

It's worth noting that the FCC has been criticized in the past for its perceived bias and lack of transparency in its operations. The reconstitution of the commission is seen as an opportunity to revamp its operations and ensure that it is more effective in promoting federal character and ensuring fairness in public appointments and recruitment.

What do you think about this development? Should the FCC be reconstituted, and if so, what steps should be taken to ensure its effectiveness?
