Dr.(Mrs) Oluwatoyin Sakirat Madein.
AGF.
President Muhammadu Buhari has approved the appointment of Dr. Mrs. Oluwatoyin Sakirat Madein as the first female Accountant General of the Federation (AGF).
The Reporters recalls that Nigeria became independent 62 years ago from British government.
Our correspondent gathered that the President ratified the appointment of Madein on Friday, thus making her the first female ever to be appointed to the position in substantive capacity in Nigeria since it's independence on October 1, 1960.
The new AGF's appointment was confirmed in a circular with reference number OHCSF/COMMS/PR/2023/24, dated Friday, May 19, 2023 signed by the spokesman of the Civil Service of the Federation, Mohammed Abdullahi Ahmed in Abuja.
In the circular, signed on behalf of the Head of Civil Service of the Federation, Dr. Folasade Yemi Esan (CFR), it was clearly stated that Madein’s appointment was approved by Buhari.
According to Esan, her appointment was sequel to the successful conduct of a selection process to fill the existing vacancy, adding that the appointment takes effect from Thursday, May 18, 2023, and she is to assume duty immediately.
Madein was born on March 7, 1965 in Iperu Remo, Ikenne Local Government Area (LGA) of Ogun State.
Until her new appointment, she was the Director of Finance and Accounts in the Office of the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, OHCSF.
She obtains a Ph.D. in Management Finance from Walden University, Minnesota, USA.
