President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Monday approved the appointment of Shamsedeen Babatunde Ogunjimi as the new Accountant General of the Federation.
A statement issued by Tinubu’s media aide, Bayo Onanuga,
said the appointment came “after a rigorous selection process.”
He said the appointment takes effect from March 7, 2025, the
same day the incumbent AGoF, Oluwatoyin Madehin, is expected to retire.
“Ogunjimi, 57, was first named as Madehin’s successor last
December.
“A selection committee later chose him through a
competitive, rigorous, and merit-based process involving Directors of Accounts
in the Federal Civil Service.
“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.
“Ogunjimi graduated from the University of Nigeria, Nsukka,
in 1990 with a Bachelor of Science in Accountancy. He also obtained a Master’s
in Accounting and Finance from the University of Lagos.
“He is a fellow of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of
Nigeria and the Chartered Institute of Taxation of Nigeria.
“President Tinubu congratulates Ogunjimi on his appointment
and urges him to discharge his duties in the service of Nigeria with integrity,
professionalism, and dedication,” Bayo said.
