The Societal Safety Network (SSN) has lauded the Federal Character Commission (FCC) for the migration from analog to digital monitoring and documentation of recruitment and deployment across ministries, departments and agencies.
It also commended the Chairperson of the FCC, Dr. Muheeba Dankaka for introducing sweeping reforms in the commission.
The group said that Dr Dankaka’s tenure at the FCC represented one of the most reform-driven and transparent eras in the history of the commission.
In a statement on Friday by its Director, Public Relations, Comr. Suleiman Salahudeen, the Societal Safety Network (SSN) said: “We make bold to state that Dr. Muheeba Dankaka’s stewardship at the helm of the FCC represents one of the most reform-driven and transparent eras in the history of the Commission. Her tenure has been marked by uncommon courage, sweeping reforms, and a zero-tolerance approach to administrative rascality and internal racketeering that had, for years, plagued the Commission.
“Under her leadership, several entrenched malpractices — notably the sale of job slots, contract scams, and internal trading of placement opportunities — were dismantled. This feat earned her both national recognition and expected resistance from those whose fraudulent privileges were disrupted.”

It added that Dr. Dankaka has restored dignity, order, and credibility to a once-controversial commission.
It listed some of the reforms introduced by Dr Dankaka to include: introduction of merit-based placement and transparency-driven procedures in federal character implementation; digitalisation of FCC Processes; rebranding of image of the FCC and elevated public confidence in its mandate and sanctioning of corrupt officers and sanitised the system of internal racketeering networks.
The group said that Dr Dankaka ensured true representation of all federating units in recruitment exercises devoid of political, ethnic, or gender bias and carried out a comprehensive upgrade of the FCC National Headquarters in Abuja, creating a more functional, modern, and dignified working environment for staff and stakeholders.
