ABSTRACT
The study critically examined the Effect of Federal Character Principle on the Staffing process in the Nigerian Federal Public Service. Descriptive Survey Design was adopted in the study. A total number of two hundred and eight (208) copies of questionnaire were administered to respondents; while two hundred and three (203) were properly filled and returned for the analysis. Data analysis was undertaken using simple percentage and frequency distribution tables. Spearman’s Rank Correlations was used to test all the stated hypotheses with the aid of the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS 20.0). After all relevant data were collected and analyzed; all the three (3) null hypotheses (Ho) that were tested were rejected as the empirical result revealed that there is a significant relationship between federal character principle and staffing process in the Nigerian Federal Public Service. The study recommended that for the Nigerian Federal Public Service to effectively and efficiently meet its objective of rendering public services to the people, merits and qualification should be given first priority in appointment, recruitment and staffing. That if federal character principle is perceived as a necessity in recruitment to public offices, then promotion on its own right in the Nigerian Federal Public Service should be based on performance and not on regional, ethnical, tribal and religious sentiments so as to promote healthy competition.
CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND TO THE STUDY:
In a heterogeneous and deeply divided societies all over the globe attempt to manage their diversities and divisive tendencies through one or combination of policy alternatives in the management of their public services for performance and service delivery has been of great concern in public administration globally (Ayoade, 2000; Abdullah, 2007) . Often times, these policy alternatives turn out to be delicate arrangements; but when carefully conceived, crafted and practiced, it provides opportunity for centre-seeking and centre-fleeing forces to interact peacefully and co-habit on agreed terms. One of such policy alternatives adopted for the management of the public service in Nigeria for even representation is the Federal Character Principle, which “was borne out of the need to ensure even spread of government appointments in all the regions, states and local government councils in the country” (Nzeshi, 2012).
Federal character principle is one of the policies of gaining unification of different ethnic groups in the country. The federal character principle as enshrined in the 1979 Constitution of Nigeria seeks to ensure appropriate equal representation of diverse ethnic and religious groups in Nigeria.

Federal character principle is one of the policies of gaining unification of different ethnic groups in the country. The federal character principle as enshrined in the 1979 Constitution of Nigeria seeks to ensure appropriate equal representation of diverse ethnic and religious groups in Nigeria.
It is believed that the analytical, conceptual and empirical studies will be a furtherance of understanding of salient dynamics, relating to federal character principle in contemporary staffing process of the Nigerian federal public service.
The study will also serve as a useful tool for students of the University of Lagos, who would want to carry out further research in this domain. It would also be useful to public administrators. The study would be significant to policy makers and implementers at large, as they will find this study useful.
