The newly inaugurated Public Complaint Commissioner representing Benue State, Rt. Hon. James Ogaba Oche, has expressed his heartfelt gratitude to the Minority Leader of the Senate, Senator Abba Patrick Moro, following his swearing-in ceremony at the National Assembly on Wednesday.
Oche, along with 37 other commissioner nominees, was inaugurated to lead the affairs of the Public Complaints Commission (PCC) for the next three years. The ceremony, held at the National Assembly complex, was presided over by Senate President Godswill Akpabio, Speaker of the House of Representatives Abbas Tajundeen, and the Clerk of the National Assembly, Sani Tambawal Magaji.
The PCC, a key organ of government, is tasked with overseeing and addressing administrative excesses, non-adherence to procedures, and abuse of the law. It serves as a redress mechanism for aggrieved citizens or residents in Nigeria facing administrative injustice.
Speaking shortly after the inauguration, Oche, a former Local Government Chairman known for his proactive leadership style, reiterated his commitment to eradicating administrative injustice through adherence to the rule of law. He emphasized his readiness to implement an open-door policy, welcoming all forms of collaboration aimed at enhancing justice and efficiency within the system.
The dynamic young leader also extended his appreciation to the former President of the 7th and 8th Senate, David Mark, for his unwavering support and significant contributions towards his appointment.
Oche’s tenure is expected to usher in a new era of efficiency and responsiveness in addressing public complaints, as he remains dedicated to promoting transparency and accountability across all levels of governance in Nigeria.
