President Bola Tinubu has extended the tenure of Surveyor-General of the Federation, Mr Abuduganiyu Adebomehin, by two years.
This was announced in a statement issued on Wednesday by the Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga.
According to the statement, the extension, as approved by Tinubu, is expected to take effect from the 5th of January 2026.
The reportedly move follows the recent transfer of the Office of the Surveyor-General of the Federation (OSGOF) to the Presidency.
While lauding the Surveyor-General for his reforms in the sector, Tinubu directed Adebomehin to consolidate the reforms during the extension period.
”Adebomehin had launched key reforms in geospatial data systems, which the President wanted to see fully implemented.” The statement read.
Tinubu emphasised national priorities such as land management, highway infrastructure coordination, erosion control, and related strategic programmes.
Adebomehin was first appointed surveyor-general by late president Muhammadu Buhari, effective Jan. 5, 2022.
