Abstract

Federal character was adopted in Nigeria to ensure that no group or section suffers imbalance or marginalization of any kind. However, it implementation had been fraught with criticism by scholars and public servants who see it as an instrument of favouring some sections against others. It had been linked to the high level of administrative inefficiency experienced by the civil service system in spite of myriad of reforms over the years. The study examined effect of federal character principle on appointment in the civil service system, using Federal Ministry of Education. Descriptive survey design was adopted, while simple random sampling was used in selecting the 300 respondents from the ten departments of the ministry. Questionnaire was the research instrument and data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, while inferential statistics was carried out using T-test and ANOVA. As federal character increases by 1%, it will result to a multiplier effect of 63% in appointment into civil service system in Nigeria. There is a strong positive correlation between federal character and appointment into the civil service system, r = 0.756. Federal character negatively affects appointment into civil service in Nigeria, as merit is sacrificed on the altar of quota or representativeness.
