The Federal Character Commission (FCC) has said it would soon commence the audit of nominal rolls of federal ministries, departments and agencies to ensure they are complying with federal character principles.

The Executive Chairman of the FCC, MUHEEBA DANKAKA, who disclosed this during the maiden media briefing of the Commission at its headquarters in Abuja, also said the FCC would not hesitate to impose necessary sanctions on any staff or agency found to be defaulting.

She further noted that the FCC had discovered that the second mandate of the commission which dwells on equitable distribution of infrastructural facilities and socio-economic amenities has been seemingly neglected.

She, however, charged ministries, departments and agencies of the federal government to ensure that all their activities fully comply with the prescribed principles of Federal Character, without sacrificing merit in the process.
