I won’t victimise anyone — Nigeria’s new accountant general, Ogunjimi pledges

The new Accountant General of the Federation, Shamsedeen Babatunde Ogunjimi, resumed office on Monday.

In his speech during the resumption ceremony at the Treasury House, Abuja, on Monday, Ogunjimi called for the spirit of togetherness in actualizing the objectives of Office of the Accountant General of the Federation.

He vowed not to victimise anyone but work as a listening leader.

“It is good to be back, this is our home, nobody will drive us out. I want everybody to have the spirit of togetherness.

“I am not in any group, I am not going to polarize the house.

“If I fail, everyone here has failed. I am ready to commit myself to the service of the public.”

He urged staff members to put the past behind and work for the good of Nigeria.

“During my interview, when I was asked what I would do differently to change the image of the Treasury House, I wanted to put the question back to you.

“What will you do differently to correct the image of the OAGF? The question to all staff members.

“Everyone of us must work to change the perception of the country’s treasury.

“I have been a victim of the chief executive officer firing directors he or she doesn’t like. ‘I don’t like him. Please remove him’, I am not going to be that leader,” he assured.

President Bola Tinubu had on Tuesday last week appointed Ogunjimi as the country’s accountant general.
