The Federal Government has initiated a significant reshuffle within its financial administration, reassigning 100 senior Treasury Officers to various Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs).
This directive from the Office of the Accountant-General of the Federation aims to enhance the management of public funds and streamline financial operations across the government.
The directive signed by Shamsuddeen Ogunmiji, the accountant general of the federation requires the affected officers, primarily directors and assistant directors, to assume their new responsibilities by June 2, 2025.
The Office of the Accountant-General itself will take in the highest number of these officers, as 21 of them will join key departments such as the Treasury Single Account (TSA), Government Integrated Financial Management Information System (GIFMIS), Funds, Inspectorate, Research and Investigation, Special Duties, and the Federal Project Financial Management Department.
Other agencies getting new officers include the Federal Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Petroleum Resources, Ministry of Communication and Digital Economy, Ministry of Transportation, Ministry of Arts, Culture and Creative Economy, Nigeria Police Force, and the National Agency for the Great Green Wall.
All officers affected by the posting must report and submit proof of resumption by the deadline.
Agencies that try to block these officers from taking up their new duties have been warned that they risk losing access to GIFMIS and the Remita payment platform.
This strategic redeployment is intended to resolve delays in financial services, ensure more efficient departmental functions and foster greater transparency and accountability in financial transactions.
