President Bola Tinubu on Thursday replaced Nkiruka Madueke with Omotenioye Majekodunmi, as the Director General of the Nigeria Climate Change Council (NCCC).
The development was made public by the president’s spokesperson, Bayo Onanuga, who said the new leader of the council is a climate finance expert.
Onanuga noted, “President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has appointed Mrs. Omotenioye Majekodunmi as the new Director-General of the National Council on Climate Change (NCCC).”
He added that President Tinubu commended the former Director General, who was appointed in June 2024, noting her foundational role in establishing the council.
It said Mrs Majekodunmi brings over 17 years of experience in global and national institutions focused on renewable energy, carbon markets, and climate governance.
Prior to this appointment, she served as the Council’s Financial Adviser, where she contributed to shaping Nigeria’s climate policies and international engagements.
The new appointment, according to Mr Onanuga, underscores the Tinubu administration’s continued commitment to addressing climate change as a national priority for economic growth, security, and social inclusion.
