President Bola Tinubu has approved a two-year extension of the tenure of the Surveyor-General of the Federation, Abdulganiyu Adebomehin, with the new term set to begin on January 5, 2026. The extension follows the recent transfer of the Office of the Surveyor-General of the Federation (OSGOF) to the Presidency.
According to a statement issued by Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, the President said the extension would allow ongoing reforms in geospatial data systems to be completed. Adebomehin, who was first appointed as Surveyor-General of the Federation by the late President Muhammadu Buhari on January 5, 2022, has already initiated reforms across critical sectors of the geospatial data ecosystem.
Tinubu’s directive directs Adebomehin to consolidate these reforms over the next two years, with a focus on national land management and administration, highways and abutting land infrastructure coordination, reclamation and erosion control programmes, and other matters of strategic national importance.
