The Federal Character Commission has begun discussions with an international investment delegation on possible collaboration to strengthen its digital systems and improve service delivery.
The Executive Chairman of the Commission, Motunrayo Omidiran, received the delegation led by Mr Michael Gale, Founder and Group CEO of Al Liwan Group Limited, from Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, at the FCC headquarters in Abuja.
The engagement focused on exploring practical partnership models that could support the commission’s digital upgrade, institutional efficiency, and improved public service delivery.
A statement on Thursday by the FCC’s spokesman, Ademola Lawrence, said Omidiran noted during the meeting that technology was essential to effective governance.
She said strengthening the commission’s digital infrastructure would improve monitoring and compliance with the Federal Character principle.
According to her, enhanced digital systems would also promote transparency in carrying out the commission’s constitutional responsibilities.
“Strengthening our digital infrastructure will help the commission improve monitoring, ensure better compliance with the Federal Character principle, and enhance transparency in carrying out our constitutional responsibilities,” she said.
In his remarks, Gale commended the commission’s reform direction, stating that institutions that adopt modern digital systems are better positioned to deliver measurable results.
He added that the delegation was encouraged by the commission’s vision and looked forward to exploring areas of sustainable collaboration.
The proposed partnership, according to the commission, aligns with its ongoing efforts to modernise operations, strengthen accountability, and deploy technology to support fair and equitable representation across the federation.
The FCC is constitutionally mandated to ensure fair and equitable representation of Nigeria’s diverse groups in federal public service appointments and resource distribution.
Since her appointment, Omidiran has pursued institutional reforms aimed at strengthening transparency, compliance monitoring, and accountability, with a growing emphasis on digital transformation to improve efficiency and service delivery.
