Tinubu Appoints Omidiran FCC Chairman, Names Secretary, Commissioners

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has appointed Ayo Hulayat Omidiran, a former member of the House of Representatives, as the new Executive Chairman of the Federal Character Commission (FCC).

Omidiran replaces Dr. Muheeba Dankaka, whose tenure was marred by controversy. Before her appointment, she had served in the House of Representatives and is expected to bring legislative experience to the FCC’s leadership.

In a statement issued on Monday by his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, the President also named Mohammed Musa as the Commission’s Secretary.

Kayode Oladele, the Ogun State Commissioner who previously served as Acting Chairman of the FCC, was retained in his position. Oladele, also a former federal lawmaker, was first appointed to the Commission by President Tinubu in 2024.

The President further renewed the appointments of Lawal Ya’u Roni (Jigawa), Abubakar Atiku Bunu (Kebbi), Eludayo Eluyemi (Osun), and Abdulwasiu Kayode Bawalla (Lagos) for a second term.

In addition, Tinubu approved the appointment of 30 new Commissioners representing various states and the Federal Capital Territory. They include:

Hon. Obina Oriaku (Abia)
