By IfiokAbasi Abia


Uyo — In a powerful and impassioned statement, Eunice Thomas, the Federal Character Commissioner representing Akwa Ibom State, assured Nigerians that the nation’s future will not be compromised. She emphasized her commitment to rebuilding public trust and inspiring renewed confidence in governance.



Speaking at a press conference held at the Federal Character Commission Secretariat in Uyo, Thomas highlighted the urgent need for strategies rooted in transparency, inclusion, and accountability to drive Nigeria’s progress.


“We will not mortgage the future of Nigerians,” she asserted. “Our mission is to restore confidence, rekindle hope, and reposition our institutions to better serve the people.”



Thomas outlined several key priorities aimed at strengthening the Commission's workforce, emphasizing that staff welfare and motivation are essential for achieving meaningful results. She remarked, “Welfare is my business. When workers feel valued and motivated, they deliver their best. That's how institutions grow, and ultimately, how nations succeed.”


The Commissioner called for enhanced collaboration across all levels of government and expressed her support for the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Senate President Godswill Akpabio, and Akwa Ibom State Governor Umo Eno. She urged Nigerians to unite behind efforts aimed at fostering national unity and development.



Highlighting Nigeria's rich diversity, which encompasses over 250 ethnic groups and spans 774 local government areas across six geopolitical zones, Thomas described the Federal Character Commission as a crucial institution that embodies the country’s commitment to unity and equitable representation.


“If we are to succeed, we must leverage relationships, build trust through transparency, and uphold the values of diligence and integrity,” she stated. “We must rewrite Nigeria’s narrative — starting from within our institutions.”



Thomas reaffirmed her dedication to pursuing all legitimate means to enhance staff welfare and cultivate a culture of excellence within the Commission, stressing that national development begins with efficient and responsive public institutions.


In a related remark, the Director of the Commission’s Uyo Office, Chukwudi Christopher Chizea, called for stronger teamwork and a more harmonious working environment among staff. He underscored the importance of inter-agency collaboration and suggested familiarity visits to neighboring government offices to enhance cooperation and efficiency.



Chizea also advocated for improved public engagement, including the installation of clear signage to guide visitors and enhance the Commission’s visibility and accessibility.


The press briefing concluded on a note of cautious optimism, with stakeholders expressing hope that a renewed commitment to transparency, staff welfare, and institutional collaboration would herald a more responsive and people-centered Federal Character Commission.
