President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has appointed Shamseldeen Babatunde Ogunjimi as the Acting Accountant General of the Federation (AGF). Ogunjimi took over from Dr. Oluwatoyin Sakirat Madein, who has proceeded on pre-retirement leave, and the appointment, which took immediate effect, was to ensure a smooth transition in the management of Nigeria’s treasury operations.
Mr. Ogunjimi, a highly respected career civil servant, is the most senior director in the Office of the Accountant General of the Federation. With over three decades of experience in financial management across the public and private sectors, he is uniquely equipped to oversee the nation’s treasury. His previous roles include serving as Director of Funds at the OAGF and Director of Finance and Accounts at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
In addition to his professional achievements, Mr. Ogunjimi is a chartered accountant, certified fraud examiner, chartered stockbroker, and a specialist in securities and investments. He holds a Bachelor of Science in Accountancy and a master’s degree in finance and accounting, reflecting his strong academic and professional foundation.
President Tinubu expressed his confidence in Ogunjimi’s ability to strengthen Nigeria’s treasury management.
“The Office of the Accountant General of the Federation is central to our nation’s economic stability and reform agenda. Mr. Ogunjimi’s expertise and extensive experience will ensure the seamless implementation of treasury policies and drive continued excellence in this critical institution,” the president said.
The President also paid tribute to Dr. Madein for her distinguished service to the nation. He commended her leadership and dedication during her tenure, which played a significant role in advancing treasury reforms. Dr. Madein, who will officially retire on March 7, 2025, leaves behind a legacy of professionalism and integrity in public service.
This appointment underscores the Tinubu administration’s commitment to reinforcing fiscal discipline and advancing economic reforms. As Mr. Ogunjimi assumes his new role, expectations are high for a continued focus on effective financial management and institutional excellence.
