THECONSCIENCE NG reports that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has approved a two-year extension for the Surveyor-General of the Federation, Mr. AbuduGaniyu Adebomehin, whose tenure will now run until January 2028.
According to a statement on Wednesday by the President’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Mr. Bayo Onanuga, the extension takes effect from January 5, 2026, and follows the recent transfer of the Office of the Surveyor-General of the Federation (OSGOF) to the Presidency.
The statement said the decision was aimed at ensuring continuity in the ongoing reform of the nation’s geospatial data and land management systems initiated under Adebomehin’s leadership.
Tinubu, the statement added, expects the Surveyor-General to consolidate and complete key reforms within the next two years, with a focus on national land management and administration, highways and abutting land infrastructure coordination, and reclamation and erosion control programmes.
“These initiatives are of strategic national importance,” the Presidency stated, noting that the reforms would help improve coordination in infrastructure development and strengthen Nigeria’s geospatial intelligence for planning and security purposes.
Adebomehin was first appointed Surveyor-General of the Federation by former President Muhammadu Buhari, effective January 5, 2022.
