The Federal Character Commission Chairman received the Deputy Governor of Ondo State, H.E Dr. Olayide Owolabi Adelami, in Abuja for a technical engagement on the practical application of federal character principles within contemporary governance systems.

The session examined how institutional decisions around appointments, access, and resource distribution can be better structured to reflect balance, fairness, and national diversity without weakening efficiency or performance in public service delivery.

Attention was also given to strengthening working relationships between federal and state actors in translating constitutional intent into operational realities that are consistent, transparent, and measurable across sectors.

Job racketeering grows when people are afraid to speak, when systems are manipulated, and when opportunities are sold unfairly.

But silence is no longer an option.

If you have experienced, witnessed, or have credible information about job racketeering, speak up. The FCC is here to stand with you and support the fight for fairness and integrity.
