The Federal Character Commission, FCC, said it has begun discussions with an international investment delegation on possible collaboration to strengthen its digital systems and improve service delivery.

The proposed partnership aligns with the Commission’s ongoing efforts to modernize its operations, strengthen accountability, and use technology to support fair and equitable representation across the federation.

The Executive Chairman of the Commission, Hulayat Omidiran, stated this when she received the delegation led by Founder and Group CEO of Al Liwan Group Limited, Mr. Michael Gale, from Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, at the FCC Headquarters in Abuja.

Speaking during the meeting, Omidiran emphasised that technology is essential to effective governance.
“Strengthening our digital infrastructure will help the Commission improve monitoring, ensure better compliance with the Federal Character principle, and enhance transparency in carrying out our constitutional responsibilities,” she said.

The engagement focused on exploring practical partnership models that could support the Commission’s digital upgrade, institutional efficiency, and improved public service delivery.

In his remarks, Mr Gale commended the Commission’s reform direction.

Gale said: “Institutions that adopt modern digital systems are better positioned to deliver measurable results. We are encouraged by the Commission’s vision and look forward to exploring areas of sustainable collaboration.”
