President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has approved the extension of the tenure of the Surveyor-General of the Federation, Mr AbuduGaniyu Adebomehin, by two years.
In a statement, the Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Mr Bayo Onanuga, explained that the extension, effective from January 5, 2026, became necessary following the recent transfer of the Office of the Surveyor-General of the Federation (OSGOF) to the Presidency.
Mr Onanuga further noted that the Surveyor-General has already commenced reforms across key areas of the nation’s geospatial data systems, and the President is committed to ensuring their full and timely completion.
He added that the president expects Mr Adebomehin to consolidate the reforms within the next two years, focusing on national land management and administration, highways and abutting land infrastructure coordination, reclamation and erosion control programmes, and other related matters of strategic national importance.
Abdulganiyu Adebomehin was appointed the Surveyor-General of the Federation (SGoF) by the late President Muhammadu Buhari, effective January 5, 2022.
