President Bola Tinubu has approved a two-year extension of tenure for the Surveyor-General of the Federation, Mr. Abudu Ganiyu Adebomehin.
The extension, announced in a statement on Wednesday by presidential spokesperson Bayo Onanuga, will take effect from January 5, 2026. According to the statement, the decision was prompted by the recent transfer of the Office of the Surveyor-General of the Federation (OSGOF) to the Presidency.
President Tinubu was said to have expressed satisfaction with the reforms already initiated by Mr. Adebomehin across key sectors of the nation’s geospatial data systems and directed him to consolidate those efforts within the extended period.
The President tasked the Surveyor-General with focusing on national land management and administration, highways and abutting land infrastructure coordination, reclamation and erosion control programmes, and other issues of strategic national importance.
Mr. Adebomehin was first appointed as Surveyor-General of the Federation by former President Muhammadu Buhari on January 5, 2022.
