President Tinubu Sacks PTAD Boss Chioma Ejikeme, Appoints Tolu Odunaiya As Replacement

President Bola Tinubu has relieved Dr Chioma Ejikeme of her duties, 13 months after she was reappointed for another four years in office as the Executive Secretary of the Pension Transitional Arrangement Directorate.

In a statement issued on Monday by the Head of the Corporate Communications Unit of PTAD, Olugbenga Ajayi, the President announced that Miss Tolulope Odunaiya has been appointed the new Executive Secretary of the Directorate.

The statement noted that Odunaiya officially assumed office on November 18, 2024, at PTAD Headquarters.

Odunaiya succeeded Ejikeme, who served as PTAD Executive Secretary from August 2019 to November 2024.

Tinubu had, in October 2023, reappointed Ejikeme as the executive secretary of the Directorate for another four-year term.

Ejikeme had previously handed over the management of PTAD to Mr Sulayman Shelleng, the Director of the Civil Service Pension Department, in September of 2023, when her initial term expired.

Her reappointment to this position came after her initial appointment by former President Muhammadu Buhari in 2019.
