Lagos State Civil Service Commission is set to collaborate with the Federal Character Commission, (FCC), in a bid to rectify the imbalance in Federal appointments for Lagos State indigenes.
The Chairman, Lagos State Civil Service Commission, Mrs Olubunmi Fabunwo while welcoming members of FCC, led by the Commissioner representing Lagos State, Mr. Abdul Wasiu Bawa-Allah, on a courtesy visit to her office, noting that emerging statistics from the Character Commission revealed that Lagos representation at the Federal level is not in tandem with the spirit of fairness, equity and balance.
Fabamwo also observed with concern the low quota reserved for Lagos indigenes in the employment schemes as well as the low representation at all Federal controlled public institutions, despite having the largest population in the Country.
Fabamwo envisaged a partnership with the Federal Character Commission to reverse the lopsidedness and imbalance in the Federal appointments for Lagos indigenes, seeking better cooperation between the Lagos Office of the FCC and the State Commission in order to achieve set objectives.
