Senate Okays Removal Of Federal Character Commissioner

Date: 2012-07-03

The Senate has endorsed the removal of Alhaji Muhammadu Gwaska as Commissioner representing Nasarawa State in the Federal Character Commission (FCC).

The Senate's approval followed its consideration of the report of the Committee on Federal Character and Inter-Governmental Affairs, which recommended the removal of Gwaska for ''gross misconduct''.

President Goodluck Jonathan had forwarded a letter to the Senate, requesting that Gwaska be removed from office for absenting himself from duty without official authorisation.

The President also listed the gross misconduct to include: ''unlawfully retaining official cars and some strategic official files of the Commission''.

The chairman of the Committee, Sen. Dahiru Kuta, while presenting the report, said THAT Gwaska was appointed as Commissioner representing Nasarawa State in 2008 while he became acting Chairman on Jan. 5, 2011.

He said the former Chairman, Prof. Shuaibu Abdulraheem, was reinstated on Sept. 11, 2011 but Gwaska absented himself from office, in spite of an official invitation to hand over to Abdulraheem.

Kuta said that Gwaska told the committee that due process was not adhered to in the re-appointment of Abdulraheem since it did not go through the Senate.

He said the committee's findings, however, showed that the President's letter for removal of Gwaska followed due process and recommended that the President's letter be approved.
