The Federal Character Commission has
said its principle guiding recruitment into the country’s public service
supports equal opportunity and healthy competition.
This was contained in a statement issued
by an Assistant Director and Head of Protocol, Communication Department
of the commission, Mr. Chuks Okoli.
The statement which was made available to the News Agency of Nigeria
on Friday in Abuja read, “The principle of the commission is meant to
support, nurture and maintain a healthy competition, which will give
good reputation to our image.
“The FCC, however, stresses the need for
the application of the commission’s principle at all levels of
government, including cabinet appointments and appointments into
political party offices.’’
It stated that the commission was
established to redress imbalances in recruitment and distribution of
social amenities through effective monitoring and enforcement of the
application of its principle.
According to Okoli, the aims and objectives of the principle are to unite the nation.
He added that the guideline would give citizens a sense of belonging and entrench equal opportunity for a sustainable democracy.
“The commission is working to ensure
that all MDAs were sensitised to the need to comply with its principles
in their recruitment through interactive meetings. The meeting is to
sensitise organisations to abiding by the laid principle because the
commission could cancel recruitment not based on its principles or
sanction the defaulting organisations,” he said.
