The Executive Chairman of the Federal Character Commission (FCC), Hon. Hulayat Ayo Omidiran, has reaffirmed the Commission’s commitment to deepening institutional collaboration as part of ongoing governance reforms aimed at strengthening transparency, accountability, and constitutional compliance across Nigeria’s public sector.
This position was reinforced during a high-level courtesy visit by the Executive Chairman of the Nigeria Revenue Service (NRS), Mr. Zacch Adedeji, at the FCC headquarters in Abuja.
Hon. Omidiran emphasized that the FCC’s constitutional mandate, particularly its oversight of equitable representation across over 700 Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs), remains fundamental to national cohesion and institutional credibility. She noted that structured collaboration with fiscal authorities will enhance regulatory alignment, data governance, and systemic transparency.
“The Federal Character principle is not symbolic; it is foundational to balanced governance and national unity. Strategic inter-agency alignment strengthens compliance mechanisms and supports evidence-based public administration,” she stated.
Mr. Adedeji emphasized the importance of harmonizing revenue administration with constitutional oversight institutions, stressing that coordinated federal action is vital for macroeconomic stability and inclusive development.
“Sustainable revenue generation must be anchored on governance frameworks that promote transparency, accountability, and institutional integrity,” he said.
