Tinubu relocates Surveyor-General’s office to presidency

President Bola Tinubu has directed that the Office of the Surveyor-General of the Federation (OSGoF) be moved from the Ministry of Works to operate directly under the Presidency.
The Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, disclosed the decision after Thursday’s Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting chaired by the President.
The adjustment aims to strengthen the coordination of geospatial data operations and enable closer supervision of national mapping and land administration efforts.
While Idris did not elaborate on the reasons behind the transition, the shift aligns with the government’s broader reform programme, which increasingly relies on geospatial intelligence to support planning, infrastructure growth, and security mapping.
The OSGoF serves as the nation’s lead agency for mapping and is responsible for delivering geospatial information, data, and related services.
