Executive Chairman of Federal Character Commission (FCC), Hulayat Omidiran, has reaffirmed the commission’s commitment to strengthening collaboration with the National Assembly .
It was during the visit of Senator Adamu Aliero, representing Kebbi Central Senatorial District.
The meeting, held at the commission’s headquarters in Abuja, focused on deepening legislative–executive cooperation to promote equity, fairness and national balance in public service appointments, in line with the federal character principle.
Omidiran stressed the importance of sustained interaction with lawmakers in advancing the commission’s constitutional mandate and enhancing institutional effectiveness.
“Federal Character Commission cannot operate in isolation. Our work requires strong synergy with the National Assembly to ensure that fairness, inclusiveness and national balance remain at the heart of governance,” Omidiran said.
“We are committed to building institutional bridges that reinforce transparency and accountability. This visit demonstrates our readiness to work with the legislature for the benefit of Nigerians,” said the former federal lawmaker, who served at House of Representatives between 2011 and 2019.
Aliero, a former Governor of Kebbi State (1999–2007) and one-time minister of the Federal Capital Territory, who has represented Kebbi Central in the Senate since 2015, hailed the leadership of the commission and pledged legislative backing for initiatives that promote equitable representation and national cohesion.
The visit forms part of strategic engagements by FCC leadership to reinforce institutional partnerships and advance reforms to entrench the federal character principle in the public service.
