Tinubu Nominates Peter Eze FCC Commissioner for Enugu

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has appointed Peter Ogbonna Eze as the Federal Character Commission (FCC) Commissioner representing Enugu State.

The appointment, announced Monday by Presidential spokesperson Bayo Onanuga, came alongside the unveiling of 36 other commissioners from across the federation.

Eze, a native of Aji in Igbo Eze North Local Government Area, is celebrated as a results-driven economist, public administrator, and business leader with a strong international background in management, leadership, and strategic partnerships.

Currently serving as Special Assistant to Abia North Senator Orji Uzor Kalu, Eze has built a reputation for driving organisational growth, implementing innovative solutions, and advocating sustainable development.

He earned a Bachelor’s degree in Economics with Second Class Upper Honours from the University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN) in 2014, where he held several leadership roles and received multiple awards.

His quest for global exposure took him to the University of International Business and Economics (UIBE), Beijing, where he obtained a Master’s degree in Public Administration (2017–2019) and was honoured as Most Outstanding Student in 2019.

His accolades include the Distinguished Leadership Award from UNN’s Department of Economics (2017), the Rotary International Leadership Excellence Award (2023), and the China-Nigeria Friendship Award (2022) from the Chinese Embassy.

Eze’s appointment is expected to bring both youthful energy and international experience to the FCC’s mission of promoting fairness and equity in federal appointments and resource distribution.
