FCC and FAAN Commit to Inclusive Hiring Practices

The Federal Character Commission (FCC) Committee on Works, Transport and Aviation and the management of the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) have pledged to collaborate on inclusive hiring, promotion, and staff deployment across airports. This commitment was made during an interactive session at the FCC headquarters, led by committee chairman Hon. Peter Ogbonna Eze.

Eze emphasized that fairness and merit should coexist in federal institutions, aiming for a workforce that is both professionally excellent and nationally representative. FAAN Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer Mrs Olubunmi Onabanjo-Kuku affirmed FAAN's commitment to the Federal Character principle while noting the specialized nature of the aviation sector.

She highlighted that recruitment processes involve consultations with relevant federal bodies and stated that FAAN had not received any compliance allegations from the FCC. Onabanjo-Kuku also mentioned the need for additional personnel in aviation security and fire and rescue services.

Following the session, she met with FCC Executive Chairman Hon. Hulayat Motunrayo Omidiran, who expressed the commission's intention to foster a productive relationship with federal agencies.
