Hey there, folks! We’ve got some hot news from the House of Representatives – the bill for an Act to amend the Federal Character Commission has just passed its second reading! And, in case you’re wondering what all the fuss is about, let me break it down for you.

Our guy Mr. Unyime Idem sponsored the bill during a plenary session in Abuja. Now, this Amendment is all about shaking things up – it aims to make provisions for the appointment of the chairman and secretary from different regions of the country, and wants to ensure the principles of federal character are well and truly represented.

But what does that mean? Well, in a nutshell, the amendments are looking to strengthen the administration, organization, and management of the Commission, bringing it in line with the best practices and global standards. In other words, they’re looking to make it as top-notch and efficient as possible.

Our main man Mr. Idem pointed out that this move will help to curb irregularities in the Commission – and that’s always a good thing, right? With all eyes on the future of the Commission, we’re ready to see how these amendments will play out in practice.

And, just to keep you all in the loop, Speaker Femi Gbajabiamila gave the House committee on Federal character a lil’ task – they’ve got to seek further legislative inputs on the bill and report back for further action. Exciting times ahead, folks! Stay tuned for more updates as this story unfolds.
