Dr. Oluwatoyin Madein is a transformational leader whose storied career in public finance management, spanning over 35 years, has made indelible marks on Nigeria’s fiscal governance landscape. As the first female Accountant-General of the Federation, she broke a historic ceiling and has since continued to model excellence, integrity, and innovation at the highest levels of public service.

A financial strategist with deep expertise in accounting, auditing, tax planning, and financial engineering, Dr. Madein has championed landmark reforms that have enhanced transparency, efficiency, and accountability in public sector finance. Under her stewardship, the digitalization of Treasury operations, the modernization of the Treasury House, and the implementation of GIFMIS (Government Integrated Financial and Management Information System) significantly redefined the management of Nigeria’s public resources.

Her visionary leadership was instrumental in increasing revenue generation through policy frameworks such as automated deductions on IGR and comprehensive fiscal policy reforms. She also led the revival of the Board of the Federal Treasury Academy and initiated the Draft Public Finance Management Bill, 2024, a bold step toward fiscal modernization.

Dr. Madein holds a PhD in Management from Walden University, USA, alongside fellowships from ACCA (UK), ICAN, ANAN, and FCNA, reflecting her global and national credibility. Her board experience spans critical sectors including the Central Bank of Nigeria, Transcorp Hilton, and Eswatini Royal Sugar Company — where she offers strategic governance insights.

An inductee into the Nigerian Women’s Hall of Fame and recipient of numerous national and international awards, Dr. Madein is a passionate advocate for capacity building, gender inclusion, and sustainable institutional reforms.

At Citizens Pensions, she brings rare depth, fierce competence, and a purpose-driven mindset to strengthen the company’s governance and deliver long-term value to stakeholders.
