Accountant-General of the Federation, Shamseldeen Ogunjimi
The Federal Government has tightened the promotion process for senior treasury officers, making verified performance records a mandatory requirement for advancement to directorate-level positions in the 2026 promotion exercise.
In a move aimed at strengthening accountability and entrenching merit-based career progression in the Federal Public Service, the Office of the Accountant-General of the Federation directed that only officers with duly completed, verified and properly endorsed performance appraisal reports would be eligible to participate in the Year 2026 directorate-level promotion examination and interview.
The directive was contained in a circular dated June 23, 2026, and signed by the Director (Administration), Dauda Abdulhamid, for the Accountant-General of the Federation.
According to the circular, officers on Salary Grade Levels 15 and 16 are required to submit duly completed Performance Management System appraisal reports for 2023, 2024 and 2025, in addition to the Annual Performance Evaluation Report for 2022.
