President Bola Tinubu has appointed Omotenioye Majekodunmi as Director-General of the National Council on Climate Change (NCCC).
Presidential spokesperson Bayo Onanuga made this known in a statement issued on Thursday, July 31, 2025.
Majekodunmi succeeded Dr Nkiruka Madueke, the pioneer head of the council, who was appointed by Tinubu in June 2024.
Onanuga quoted Tinubu to have appreciated Madueke for her dedicated service and strong foundation for the council’s continued growth.
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.
She previously served as the NCCC’s Financial Adviser and has played a key role in shaping Nigeria’s climate policies and international engagements.
