In today's  board appointments /inauguration of the board Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation Limited (NNPCL), the Nigeria Unity Achievers Forum under the leadership of Prince Maduba Chukwudi, has raised a poignant alarm regarding perceived exclusions of the southeast region. The forum strongly emphasizes that such exclusions pose a significant threat to the unity of Nigeria, citing a violation of the Federal Character Act.

The Federal Character Act, enacted to ensure equitable distribution of appointments and resources across various regions in the country, serves as a cornerstone for fostering national unity and preventing marginalization. The alleged deviation from this principle in the NNPCL appointments has drawn concern from the Nigeria Unity Achievers Forum.

It is crucial to underscore the potential repercussions of such actions on the nation's socio-political landscape. A departure from the principles of inclusivity and equal representation can exacerbate existing tensions and hinder the collaborative progress that Nigeria aspires to achieve.

The Nigeria Unity Achievers Forum calls upon President Tinubu to carefully reconsider these appointments, urging a transparent and inclusive process that aligns with the spirit of the Federal Character Act. Emphasizing the importance of unity in a diverse nation like Nigeria, the forum advocates for leadership decisions that reflect the rich tapestry of the country's demographic and cultural composition.

As Nigeria navigates the complexities of governance and representation, adherence to principles of fairness and inclusivity becomes paramount. The Nigeria Unity Achievers Forum stands as a voice of concern, seeking to uphold the values that promote national cohesion and foster a sense of belonging for all regions within the country.
