FCC, FAAN pledge fairness in recruitment, promotion
The Federal Character Commission and FAAN have pledged to strengthen collaboration to promote fairness and inclusivity in recruitment and staff deployment. Read More:…
The Federal Character Commission was established to ensure fair representation of Nigeria's diverse states and ethnic groups in federal government appointments, recruitment and the distribution of amenities, in line with constitutional provisions aimed at promoting national unity. The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria, as the agency managing the country's airports, is among the federal bodies routinely monitored by the FCC for compliance with these quotas, given its sizeable workforce and nationwide operations.
Complaints of lopsided recruitment and favouritism in staffing have long trailed federal agencies, making periodic engagements between the FCC and such bodies a recurring feature of public sector oversight. Both Punch and Legit.ng report that the latest meeting between the two agencies centred on recruitment, promotion and staff deployment practices at FAAN, with officials pledging closer collaboration going forward. Neither report details specific past violations, timelines for implementation, or concrete measures beyond the stated commitment to fairness.
