President Bola Tinubu has appointed Shamsedeen Ogunjimi as the new Accountant-General of the Federation, with his tenure set to commence on March 7, 2025.
The announcement was made in a statement on Tuesday by Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy.
Ogunjimi will replace Oluwatoyin Madein, the outgoing Accountant-General, who is set to retire on the same day.
According to Onanuga, Ogunjimi’s selection was the result of a competitive, rigorous, and merit-based process conducted by a selection committee.
The statement read partly: “The committee conducted the process through three stages: a written assessment, an ICT proficiency test, and oral interviews.
“The selection process underscores President Tinubu’s commitment to promoting transparency, excellence, and competence in key public service positions.”
