“Since 2018, the Federal Character Commission has been run by an acting chairman who has now become a sole administrator.” FederalCharacterCommission FCC Senate Buhari Nigeria
The lawmakers reminded the Nigerian leader that the failure to reconstitute the commission would amount to a breach of the Act establishing the agency and the 1999 constitution .
He explained further that Act No.34 of 1996, LFN subsections 1, 2 & 3 stipulate the establishment, membership and tenure of office of the chairman and members of the commission. According to him, there is no provision in the Act or the constitution that caters for the office of a sole administrator or an acting chairman in the organisation.
The lawmakers also directed the Chief of Army Staff to immediately re-establish a military command in Garkida and all other major settlements bordering the Sambisa Forest. Besides, the Red Chamber is to enforce compliance on road safety legislations among haulage operators, owners and drivers as it mandated its Committee on Federal Character and Inter-Governmental Affairs to investigate compliance level.
