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

The announcement made public by Presidential spokesperson, Bayo Onanuga, came alongside the naming of 36 other Commissioners across the federation.

Eze is a results-driven economist, public administrator, and business leader with a strong international background in management, leadership and strategic partnerships.

Over the years, Eze, who is a native of Aji, Igbo Eze North of Enugu State, has cultivated a reputation for driving organisational growth, implementing innovative solutions, and leading teams to success, while consistently advocating for positive change and sustainable development.

The journey of Eze, who was a Special Assistant to Abia North Lawmaker, Orji Uzor Kalu, reflects a deep commitment to academic excellence and leadership.

He earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Economics with Second Class Upper Honours from the University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN) in 2014, where he also held several student leadership positions and received multiple awards for outstanding service.

His quest for global exposure led him to the University of International Business and Economics (UIBE) in Beijing, China, where he obtained a master’s degree in public administration between 2017 and 2019.
Throughout his studies, Eze distinguished himself as a top performer, earning accolades.

In Nigeria, Eze served as Director of Procurement and Logistics at Slok Nigeria Limited (2018–2020), Director of Strategy, Policy, and Document Control at The Sun Publishing Limited (2020–2022), and Director of Operations at The New Telegraph (2022–2023).

Currently, he is at the helm of Bullion Standard Nigeria Limited, where he oversees company operations in importation, mining, production, and services, while driving strategic decision-making and fostering international partnerships.

With a career spanning journalism, corporate management, policy development, logistics, and international business, Eze brings a wealth of experience to the FCC.

As he assumes his role, Eze is expected to leverage his skills in strategic planning, stakeholder engagement, and organisational growth to strengthen the FCC’s mandate of ensuring fairness, equity and balanced representation in Nigeria’s federal appointments and resource allocation.
