President Bola Tinubu has approved the appointment of Deputy Controller-General Olumode Samuel Adeyemi as the next Controller-General of the Federal Fire Service. His appointment takes effect from August 14, 2025.
The announcement was made on Wednesday by the Civil Defence, Correctional, Fire and Immigration Services Board (CDCFIB) in a statement signed by its Secretary, Major General A.M. Jibril (retd.), on behalf of the President.
According to the statement, Adeyemi’s appointment follows the scheduled retirement of the current Controller-General, Engr. Abdulganiyu Jaji, who will bow out of service on August 13, 2025, upon reaching the mandatory retirement age of 60.
The CDCFIB highlighted Olumode’s extensive experience and service record, noting his transfer from the FCT Fire Service to the Federal Fire Service, where he steadily rose through the ranks to become Deputy Controller-General in charge of Human Resources at the Service headquarters.
“Throughout his career, he has successfully completed all mandatory in-service training programmes, command courses, and other professional development courses both locally and internationally,” the statement noted.
Olumode is also a distinguished member or fellow of several professional organizations, including the Association of National Accountants of Nigeria, the Institute of Corporate Administration of Nigeria, the Institute of Public Administration of Nigeria, and the Chartered Institute of Treasury Management of Nigeria.
The Board expressed its deep appreciation to the outgoing Controller-General, Engr. Jaji, for his outstanding service, praising his unwavering dedication and the numerous initiatives he championed during his tenure, which significantly advanced the operations and capabilities of the Federal Fire Service.
