PRESIDENT TINUBU APPOINTS OLUMODE AS FEDERAL FIRE SERVICE CHIEF

Deputy Controller-General Olumode Samuel Adeyemi has been appointed as the new Controller-General of the Federal Fire Service, with his appointment taking effect from August 14, 2025.

The announcement was made in an official statement by the Civil Defence, Correctional, Fire and Immigration Services Board (CDCFIB), signed by its Secretary, Major General A.M. Jibril, on behalf of President Bola Tinubu, who approved the appointment.

Olumode’s appointment marks a significant step forward for the Service, as he brings a distinguished track record and a wealth of professional experience to the role. Having begun his career with the FCT Fire Service before moving to the Federal Fire Service, he steadily climbed the ranks to become Deputy Controller-General in charge of Human Resources.

His appointment is widely seen as a step toward a more efficient, responsive, and modern firefighting and emergency management system across the country.
