By Abigail Philip David

President Bola Tinubu has appointed Shamseldeen Babatunde Ogunjimi as the Acting Accountant-General of the Federation (Ag. AGF), effective immediately. This follows the commencement of pre-retirement leave by the incumbent AGF, Dr. Oluwatoyin Sakirat Madein, who is set to retire on March 7, 2025.

In a statement issued on Tuesday by presidential spokesperson Bayo Onanuga, the appointment aims to ensure a seamless transition in the management of Nigeria’s treasury and to further the administration’s treasury policy reforms.

Mr. Ogunjimi, a career civil servant and the most senior director at the Office of the Accountant-General of the Federation (OAGF), brings over 30 years of expertise in financial management across both the public and private sectors. His previous roles include Director of Funds at the OAGF and Director of Finance and Accounts at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

A highly qualified professional, Ogunjimi holds a Bachelor’s degree in Accountancy and a Master’s in Finance and Accounting. He is a chartered accountant, certified fraud examiner, chartered stockbroker, and certified security and investment specialist.

President Tinubu expressed confidence in Ogunjimi’s ability to lead the critical office, stating, *“The Office of the Accountant-General of the Federation is central to our nation’s treasury management. Mr. Ogunjimi’s extensive experience and competence will ensure its continued effectiveness as we implement our economic reforms.”*

The President also commended the outgoing AGF, Dr. Madein, for her dedication and service to the nation, wishing her well in her forthcoming retirement.
