President Bola Tinubu has approved a two-year tenure extension for the Surveyor-General of the Federation, Mr. AbuduGaniyu Adebomehin.
In a statement on Wednesday, by the Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, revealed that the move is aimed at consolidating ongoing reforms in Nigeria’s geospatial data systems and national land administration,
The extension will take effect from 5 January 2026, and follows the recent transfer of the Office of the Surveyor-General of the Federation to the Presidency.
The transfer places geospatial intelligence and national surveying operations directly under the executive arm.
According to Onanuga, ‘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 by the late President Muhammadu Buhari, effective 5 January 2022.
