President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has appointed Shamselden Babatunde Ogunjimi as the Acting Accountant General of the Federation (AGF). This decision takes effect immediately, following the pre-retirement leave of the outgoing AGF, Dr. (Mrs.) Oluwatoyin Sakirat Madein.

In a statement released on Tuesday, December 10th, Presidential Spokesman Bayo Onanuga emphasized that the appointment marks a seamless transition in managing the nation’s treasury. He noted that the move aligns with the administration’s commitment to strengthening Nigeria’s financial systems and advancing its treasury policy reforms.

Ogunjimi, a seasoned financial expert, is expected to bring his expertise to bear in ensuring efficient management of public finances. His role will involve overseeing government accounts, implementing fiscal discipline, and supporting ongoing efforts to combat financial mismanagement and corruption.

This appointment underscores President Tinubu’s focus on reforming key sectors of the economy and promoting transparency in financial administration. Nigerians now look to Ogunjimi to deliver on these critical mandates.
