A delegation of the Federal Character Commission (FCC), led by AbdulWasiu Bawallah, has said Lagos indigenes should enjoy their allotted federal quota.
The delegation paid a working visit to the Lagos State House of Assembly Service Commission (LAHASCOM).
Bawallah said the visit was to enlighten the commission on the essence of the FCC and to reintroduce its functions to government institutions and the public. “The essence of the visit is to shed light on the imbalance in federal quota occupied by Lagosians.”
He said the undue marginalisation in the number of Lagos indigenes in federal establishments has become a thing of concern, as the purpose of the commission is to make sure there is fairness in the implementation of the quota system as stipulated by the constitution in which Lagos State representation is below its designated quota.Bawallah said the commission’s mandate was to foster equity in public positions in the Federal, State and Local Government as well as equally balanced social amenities and infrastructural facilities.
