Tinubu's FCC Appointment of Peter Ez Garners Praise for Youth Inclusion

Bola Tinubu's selection of Peter Ogbonna Ez as a member of the Federal Character Commission (FCC) has garnered significant support from various quarters. Orji Uzor Kalu, former Abia State Governor and Senator, commended the appointment, emphasizing the importance of empowering young Nigerians in public service.

The ceremony, held in Abuja, saw Ayo Omidiran sworn in as the FCC chairman alongside Ez. Academic institutions like the University of Nigeria praised Ez as an outstanding alumnus and a worthy ambassador.

The appointment process, initiated by Tinubu in August 2025, involved screening by the Senate Committee on Federal Character and Inter-Governmental Affairs, which found no issues with Ez's competence. The nomination and subsequent confirmation of Ez from Enugu State reflect Tinubu's commitment to youth leadership and inclusivity in governance.
