President Muhammadu
Buhari has appointed 38 persons to the board of the Federal Character
Commission (FCC).
In a letter on
Tuesday, the president asked the senate to confirm the appointees. He based his request on section 154 (1) of
the constitution as amended.
Senate President
Ahmad Lawan read the letter on the floor of the upper legislative chamber on
Tuesday.
“In compliance with
the provision of section 154 (1) of the constitution of the federal republic of
Nigeria, 1999 as amended, I write to request for confirmation by the senate for
38 nominees as chairman and members of the Federal Character Commission,” the
letter read.
The development is
coming about two months after the senate asked Buhari to reconstitute the FCC
board.

only one commissioner out of the 37 as required by law. Abdullahi Halidu
