JUST IN: Tinubu approves tenure extension for Surveyor-General

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has approved a two-year extension for the Surveyor-General of the Federation, Mr. AbuduGaniyu Adebomehin.

The announcement was made on Wednesday through a statement by the Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga.

According to Onanuga, the extension, which takes effect from January 5, 2026, was approved following the recent transfer of the Office of the Surveyor-General of the Federation (OSGOF) to the Presidency.

He said the Surveyor-General has already initiated reforms across critical sectors of geospatial data systems, which the President is keen to see completed.

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.

Adebomehin was appointed the Surveyor-General of the Federation (SGoF) by the late President Muhammadu Buhari on January 5, 2022.
