Tinubu appoints Majekodunmi DG council on climate change
President Bola Tinubu has appointed Omotenioye Majekodunmi as director-general of the National Council on Climate Change (NCCC).
She succeeds Nkiruka Madueke, the pioneer head of the council who was appointed in June 2024.
Majekodunmi, a climate finance expert and environmental lawyer with over 17 years of experience, has worked with global and national institutions on renewable energy, carbon markets and climate governance.
Before her appointment, she served as the council’s financial adviser, where she played a key role in shaping Nigeria’s climate policies and international engagements.
The president thanked Madueke for her dedicated service and for laying a strong foundation for the council’s continued growth.
According to the presidency, Majekodunmi’s appointment reflects the Tinubu administration’s commitment to addressing climate change as both an environmental challenge and a catalyst for sustainable economic growth, national security and social inclusion.
