Which section of the Act allows the Federal Government to constitute the Agency?

The correct answer is B: Section 3(1). Section 3(1) of the Federal Investigation Agency Act, 1974, explicitly states the Federal Government's authority to constitute the Agency. This foundational section empowers the government to establish the FIA and define its scope, structure, and functions. It is the legal basis for the very existence and operational framework of the Federal Investigation Agency, ensuring that the agency is lawfully established and operates under the directives of the central government. This provision underpins the FIA's authority as a federal law enforcement entity.

• A: Section 2(1) of the Act typically deals with definitions of terms used within the legislation, such as "Agency," "Director General," or "rules." It defines components but does not provide the power for constitution.
• C: Section 4(2) usually relates to the administration or specific powers of the agency, often detailing aspects of its functioning rather than its initial establishment. It would not grant the power to constitute the Agency itself.
• D: Section 5(1) of the Act outlines the general powers of the members of the Agency, such as their authority to investigate offenses or make arrests. This section deals with the operational powers of individual officers, not the overarching power of the Federal Government to establish the entire Agency.
