July 31, (THEWILL) — President Bola Tinubu has approved the appointment of Mrs. Omotenioye Majekodunmi as the new Director-General of the National Council on Climate Change (NCCC).
The appointment was announced on Thursday in a statement signed by the President’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga.
Majekodunmi succeeds Dr. Nkiruka Madueke, the pioneer head of the Council, who was appointed by President Tinubu in June 2024.
A seasoned climate finance expert and environmental lawyer, Majekodunmi brings over 17 years of experience working with international and local institutions in the areas of renewable energy, carbon markets, and climate governance.
Until her appointment, she served as the Council’s Financial Adviser, playing a key role in shaping Nigeria’s climate policies and international engagements.
The President expressed gratitude to the outgoing Director-General, Dr. Madueke, for her dedicated service and for laying a strong foundation for the Council’s continued growth.
Majekodunmi’s appointment, according to the statement, reaffirms the Tinubu administration’s commitment to addressing climate change as both an environmental priority and a pathway to sustainable economic growth, national security, and social inclusion.
