Make a complaint

The Commission receives complaints against public bodies and officers in Taraba State. Set out what happened as fully as you can. You will be given a reference and an access code so you can follow the matter.

1 About you

The Commission needs to know who you are so it can write back to you. You can ask for your identity to be withheld from the body you are complaining about.

Your full name required

Email address required

Telephone optional

Address optional

National Identification Number required

A verified complaint can be formally investigated and you can be contacted about the outcome. Without one, your report is still received, but the Commission may only be able to use it for systemic review.

The Commission records this number but is not able to check it against the national register at present.

Your NIN is encrypted before it is stored. Only officers with a specific permission can see it in full, and every time one does it is written to the Commission's audit trail.

Do not disclose my name to the body or officer I am complaining about

The Commission's own officers will still see who you are. If you need to report without the Commission knowing your identity at all, use the whistleblower channel when it opens.

Warning: Before you send

By submitting this complaint you confirm that what you have written is true to the best of your knowledge. Knowingly making a false accusation against a public officer is itself an offence.

You will be given a reference and an access code on the next screen. The access code is shown once and cannot be recovered. Write it down.

The Commission holds what you send in order to consider your complaint. See the privacy notice.
