President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has appointed Shamsudeen Babatunde Ogunjimi as the new Accountant-General of the Federation, with his tenure set to begin on March 7, 2025. His appointment follows the retirement of the outgoing Accountant-General, Oluwatoyin Madehin.

Ogunjimi was initially named as Madehin’s successor in December 2024 after emerging as the top candidate in a rigorous selection process. The evaluation included a written assessment, an ICT proficiency test, and oral interviews conducted by a specialized committee.

A graduate of the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, Ogunjimi earned a Bachelor’s degree in Accountancy in 1990. He later obtained a Master’s degree in Accounting and Finance from the University of Lagos. He is also a fellow of both the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria and the Chartered Institute of Taxation of Nigeria.

In a statement issued by Presidential Adviser Bayo Onanuga, Tinubu congratulated Ogunjimi and urged him to uphold professionalism, integrity, and dedication in his new role.
