The Federal Character Commission (FCC) has called for the immediate suspension of the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) recruitment exercise over alleged breaches of federal character principles.
The Chairman of the FCC’s Financial Services Committee, Abdulwasiu Bawa-Allah, made the call during a press briefing in Abuja, saying the allegations surrounding the exercise required thorough investigation.
Bawa-Allah said the commission, which is constitutionally mandated to enforce federal character principles, was not invited to monitor the recruitment process.

The FCC chairman further alleged that attempts by the commission to engage the Customs Service over the matter were treated with disdain.
