ABUJA – A group known as the Intersociety for Change and Transparency (ICT) has called on President Bola Tinubu to launch an investigation into the official activities of the acting Accountant General of the Federation, Shamseldeen Ogunjimi.

In a statement signed by Segun Thomas, the group highlighted the systemic failures that have enabled Ogunjimi’s alleged misconduct while in office.

Therefore, the group has called for a thorough investigation into Ogunjimi’s activities, insisting that disciplinary action must be taken against him if found guilty.

“We are compelled to bring to the attention of President Bola Tinubu, a grave matter of concern regarding the conduct of Shamseldeen Ogunjimi, a director with the Federal Ministry of Foreign Affairs. 

“We urge President Tinubu to take immediate and decisive action to address this matter.

“Furthermore, we demand that persons with allegations of official misconduct on their necks be prevented from holding any public office in the future.

“The Nigerian people deserve better. They deserve a civil service that is characterized by transparency, accountability, and integrity.

“By taking swift and decisive action, President Tinubu can demonstrate his commitment to these values and send a strong message that corruption and misconduct will not be tolerated in the civil service.

“We await the President’s prompt action on this matter. The integrity of the civil service is at stake, and it is imperative that decisive action is taken to address this egregious misconduct, the group stated.

“Individuals like Ogunjimi, whose actions demonstrate a blatant disregard for ethics and the law, have no place in the civil service.

The Intersociety for Change and Transparency (ICT) stated that it was unconscionable for persons with tainted records to be allowed to occupy positions of trust and responsibility.
