    Compliance of the Federal Character Principle on staff recruitment among zones in Public institutions is becoming problematic; as employment representation is dominated by few zones; that is overrepresentation, while other zones in the universities employment was under-represented which resulted to imbalances in national spread of representation in the country. The paper seeks to examine the compliance of the Federal Character Principle on Staff Recruitment in Usmanu Danfodio University and Federal University Gusau, Nigeria. It covers a period of five years (2014- 2019), using Expost Factor Research Design. Secondary sources of data collection were used such as periodical publications of the Federal Character Commission. Process theory of Federalism is adopted. The study revealed that sociocultural differences; ethnicity, nepotism and the security issue were among the challenges that impede the compliance with the Federal Character commission’s principle in Staff Recruitment. The study recommends the need for the Government to provide a means of inculcating the feeling of national unity among its citizens. This will help in managing cultural diversity, discouraging ethnocentrism, nepotism and promoting social inclusion, fairness and justice in the country. This would produce more patriotic and committed leaders that would enhance the integration of the nations into one entity and place national interest above any other parochial sentiments.
