Dr. Oluwatoyin Madein Mourns Former President Buhari

It is with a heavy heart that I, Dr. (Mrs.) Oluwatoyin Sakirat MADEIN, the first female Accountant-General of the Federation, mourn the passing of former President Muhammadu BUHARI.

I extend my deepest condolences to his family, the people of Daura, Katsina State, and the entire nation of Nigeria.

President BUHARI's leadership and vision for Nigeria will be remembered and his impact on Nigeria's political landscape will endure.  

I am particularly grateful for the opportunity he afforded me to serve as Accountant-General of the Federation, a position I held with pride and dedication from May 18, 2023 to March 7, 2025. His faith in my abilities was an honour, and I will forever cherish the memory of his support.

His approval of my appointment marked a significant milestone in my career and paved the way for future generations of women in public service.

My thoughts and prayers are with President Bola Ahmed TINUBU and all Nigerians during this time of national mourning.  

May God grant President Bola Ahmed TINUBU and everyone the fortitude to bear his passing, and may the late President BUHARI's soul rest in perfect peace.

May Almighty Allah grant his soul eternal rest, and may his legacy continue to inspire and guide us as we strive to build a better Nigeria for all.
