    President Bola Tinubu has appointed Shamsedeen Ogunjimi as the new Accountant General of the Federation.

    The appointment, announced on Tuesday, takes effect on March 7, 2025, coinciding with the retirement of the incumbent AGF, Oluwatoyin Madehin.

    Ogunjimi, 57, was first named as Madehin’s successor in December 2024.

    His selection was finalised after a competitive process overseen by a committee tasked with evaluating Directors of Accounts in the Federal Civil Service.

    The process included a written assessment, an ICT proficiency test, and oral interviews, underscoring Tinubu’s commitment to transparency and excellence in public appointments.

    In a statement issued on Tuesday, the Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, detailed the significance of the appointment.

    “The selection process underscores President Tinubu’s commitment to promoting transparency, excellence, and competence in key public service positions,” the statement read.

    Ogunjimi’s emergence as AGF reflects the administration’s focus on appointing qualified individuals to critical roles.

    A graduate of the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, Ogunjimi earned a Bachelor of Science in Accountancy in 1990.

    He later obtained a Master’s degree in Accounting and Finance from the University of Lagos.

    With a distinguished career, he is a fellow of both the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria and the Chartered Institute of Taxation of Nigeria, bringing a wealth of expertise to his new role.

    Tinubu extended his congratulations to Ogunjimi, setting clear expectations for his tenure.

    “President Tinubu congratulates Ogunjimi on his appointment and urges him to discharge his duties in the service of Nigeria with integrity, professionalism, and dedication to Nigeria’s service,” Onanuga’s statement noted.

    The President’s charge highlights the administration’s emphasis on accountability and service delivery in managing the nation’s finances.

    Ogunjimi steps into the role at a pivotal time as Nigeria navigates economic reforms and fiscal challenges.

    His appointment replaces Oluwatoyin Madehin, who served as AGF until her retirement on March 7, 2025.

    The transition marks a continuation of efforts to strengthen financial oversight and governance within the Federal Government.
