President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has appointed Omotenioye Majekodunmi as the new Director-General of the National Council on Climate Change (NCCC), replacing Dr. Nkiruka Madueke, the agency’s pioneer head.
The announcement was made in a statement released on Thursday by Presidential Spokesman, Bayo Onanuga.
Majekodunmi, a seasoned climate finance expert and environmental lawyer, brings over 17 years of experience to the role. She has worked extensively with both international and national organizations in areas such as renewable energy, carbon markets, and climate governance. Prior to her appointment, she served as the Financial Adviser to the NCCC and played a vital role in formulating Nigeria’s climate policies and representing the country in international climate negotiations.
The President expressed appreciation to Dr. Madueke for her service, acknowledging her contribution to establishing a solid foundation for the Council’s work since its inception in June 2024.
According to the statement, Majekodunmi’s appointment reflects the Tinubu administration’s commitment to addressing climate change as a key issue tied to environmental protection, economic sustainability, national security, and inclusive development.
“Majekodunmi’s appointment reaffirms the Tinubu administration’s commitment to tackling climate change as both an environmental necessity and a driver of sustainable economic growth, national security, and social inclusion,” Onanuga said.
