President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has appointed Mrs Omotenioye Majekodunmi as the new Director-General of the National Council on Climate Change (NCCC).
Presidential Spokesperson Mr Bayo Onanuga announced the appointment, stating that Majekodunmi succeeds Dr Nkiruka Madueke, the Council’s pioneer head, appointed in June 2024.
Majekodunmi, an environmental lawyer and climate finance expert with over 17 years of experience, has worked with global and national institutions on renewable energy, carbon markets, and climate governance.
She previously served as the Council’s Financial Adviser and played a key role in shaping Nigeria’s climate policies and international engagements.
The President thanked 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 Presidency, reaffirms the Tinubu administration’s commitment to addressing climate change as an environmental priority and a pathway to sustainable economic growth, national security, and social inclusion.
