FCT Natives Demand Federal Commissioner Appointments

Natives and residents of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) have appealed to President Bola Tinubu to appoint indigenes as commissioners in all federal parastatals operating in the territory.

An elder statesman, Danjuma Tanko Dara, who spoke to journalists in Abuja on Wednesday, criticised appointments made outside of local indigenes, labelling them as an abuse of constitutional rights and a violation of the federal character principle.
