The Senate has confirmed the nomination of Dr. Nnoli Nkechi Gloria from Anambra State as a Federal Commissioner of the Federal Character Commission (FCC), following President Bola Tinubu’s request for legislative approval.
Dr. Nnoli’s confirmation came on Thursday during plenary after the upper chamber adopted the report of the Senate Committee on Federal Character and Inter-Governmental Affairs, which screened all nominees earlier in the week.
With her confirmation, Dr. Nnoli Nkechi Gloria will represent Anambra State on the Commission, an agency mandated to promote equity, fairness, and balanced representation in federal appointments and resource distribution nationwide.
She was confirmed alongside Mrs. Ayo Hulayat Omidiran from Osun State, who now serves as the new Chairman of the Commission, as well as Hon. Peter Ogbonna Eze from Enugu State and 36 other nominees representing the 36 states and the FCT.
The FCC, considered a key institution for national cohesion, is expected to play a crucial role in ensuring equitable access to federal opportunities under the current administration.
Dr. Nnoli Nkechi Gloria’s appointment is widely viewed as a positive development for Anambra State, with expectations that she will champion fairness, inclusiveness, and integrity in the Commission’s operations.
