October 22, (THEWILL) — President Bola Tinubu has approved a two-year extension of the tenure of the Surveyor-General of the Federation, Abudulganiyu Adebomehin, effective January 5, 2026.
Adebomehin was first appointed to the position by former President Muhammadu Buhari on January 5, 2022.
In a statement issued on Wednesday, the Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, said the extension followed the recent transfer of the Office of the Surveyor-General of the Federation (OSGOF) to the Presidency.
According to Onanuga, the decision will allow Adebomehin to complete several key reforms he initiated across Nigeria’s geospatial data and mapping systems.
President Tinubu, he added, expects the Surveyor-General to use the extended period to consolidate ongoing reforms in national land management, highway and abutting land coordination, reclamation and erosion control programmes, and other projects of strategic national importance.
