From Okoli Sunday, Awka
A one day sensitization meeting with management and stakeholders of Federal Institutions in Orumba North Local Government Area has ended with a resolve by participants to abide by the guidelines establishing such Federal institutions. The event with the theme, “Location of Higher Institutions in Nigerian Community and Application of Federal Character Principle” was held at the Orumba North Secretariat, Ajali. The meeting was organized by the Federal Character Commission, Abuja. In attendance were Stakeholders in Institutions in the area, Traditional cum Community leaders among others. Declaring the town hall meeting open, Governor Willie Obiano noted that because FCC exists, Nigeria has remained one united entity as their guidelines has prepared grounds for justice and fair play. Represented by his Deputy, Dr Nkem Okeke, Governor Obiano stressed that the quota system has helped those Federal institutions, as to who gets what. While reiterating that violence and crisis create tension in the State, with particular mention of what he described as senseless killings in the Federal College of Education Technical, Umunze, the Governor called for entrenchment of peace and harmony, as the State government has made and still making frantic efforts to provide security in the State. Earlier in an address of welcome, the Executive Chairman of FCC, Dr Shettima Barkar Abah represented by the Commissioner in Ekiti State Mr Olubunmi Ojo, stressed the importance of host Communities’ protection of Federal projects and institutions in their location, noting that in case of continued tension and rancour, the Federal Government reserves the right to relocate such institutions, which is not in the Communities’ best interest. In a paper presentation, the resource person and Director SAPAD FCC, Mr Vincent Onobun, appealed to participants to support the people by complete attitudinal change for social justice and inclusion, saying that Communities’ clamour for what belongs to all can be disastrous.

ok

Coming from my governor it's rather painful. Anambra indigenes who try to become the best have been let down by this quota system. Are human beings not born equal?why should my bayelsan neighbour exposed to the same environmental factors, who attended the same pry,secondary schl suddenly write JAMB he scores 190 and gets admission,i score 220 and I can't!!
Is the bayelsan a dog or a piece of wood with a small brain? To hell with quota system/federal character jor....merit all the
way!
