…Redeploys New Accountant General to Public Service Institute

The crisis rocking the office of the Accountant General of the Federal has deepened as the Accountant-General of the Federation, Mrs. Oluwatoyin Sakirat Madein has dared the Presidency on the issue of her replacement.

Tinubu had appointed Mr Shelmdeen Ogunjimi as the successor to Mrs Madein on December 10.

However, the Accountant General who by virtue of a no action policy of the civil service was expected to proceed on a three-month pre-retirement leave may have resisted the Presidential directive.

One week after the President’s directive, she released a posting of treasury officers affecting the new Accountant General and 19 others on December 18.

She redeployed Ogunjimi from the Office of the Accountant General of the Federation (Funds) to the Public Service Institute of Nigeria(PSIN) Accounts.

Ogunjimi, has up to December 24, to report in his new post while Madein insists on remaining in Office till March 7th 2025 which is the date for her retirement.

Already the Office of the accountant General of the Federation is like a town with two kings and their factions in a contest of survival.

Supporters of Ogunjimi are saying that the deployment of Ogunjimi to the Public Service Institute of Nigeria is a ploy to prevent him from occupying the office in spite of Presidential approval.

The issue is even more complex and confusing as the Presidency has not issued a recent assertive statement of finality on the raging fight of two Accountant Generals of the Federation.

The December 18th circular personally signed by Madein read, "I hereby approve the posting of the following Directorate Level Treasury Officers with immediate effect towards enhancing effective service delivery.

"I want to further reiterate that all officers are to note that failure to comply with this posting instruction shall be treated in accordance with the provision of the Public Service Rules (PSR) 020602 (iv).

"Accordingly, affected officers are advised to submit assumption of duty certificates to the office of the undersigned on or before Tuesday, 24th December, 2024."

Others affected by the memo are Abalaka James N (OAGF Funds); Dagin Seldam (OAGF STF); Ekwem Virginus E (OAGF IPPIS); Luka Joshua Kadmi (Ministry of Foreign Affairs Accounts)etc

It would be recalled that the Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Mr Bayo Onanuga, announced Ogunjimi as the new Accountant General of the Federation in a statement on December 10, 2024.

“His (Ogunjimi) appointment is effective immediately following the pre-retirement leave of the incumbent AG-F, Dr. (Mrs.) Oluwatoyin Sakirat Madein.”

She very much knows that Tinubu is weak and spineless, a trait common amongst his tribesmen.

What an ignorant sensational report. This is not daring the President. It's even good for the incoming AG because it adds to his profile before assuming office. The announced incoming AG is for now an appointee like you have for tenured offices and he will one day be an outgoing AG too

The current and outgoing AG still has 3 months and for as long as the President has not fired her then she's in charge till then.

She will use the remaining months to ease her exit and handover. Here's wishing her a successful retirement life. She served her fatherland meritoriously and I celebrate her!

This is the reason our economy is getting worse by day... disorganised administration....how can this happen if president is truly incharge of national affairs

Has the?New AG been issued Letter of Appointment? I asked this because that Bayo is fund of making unguarded statements without the approval of the presidency. A lot of power tussle is going on there. SSG, Chief of Staff, Bayo Onanuga and the many Media aids of the presidency, including the now rendered redundant Daniel Bwala. No wonder Ajuri resigned to save himself from getting entangled in the juju war going on there

Seems you have a retrogressive brain?
