President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has approved a two-year extension for the Surveyor-General of the Federation, Mr. Abuduganiyu Adebomehin.
According to a statement released on Tuesday, the extension will take effect from January 5, 2026, allowing Mr. Adebomehin to continue in office until January 2028.
Okay News reports that the decision followed the recent transfer of the Office of the Surveyor-General of the Federation (OSGOF) to the Presidency, a move seen as part of Tinubu’s broader efforts to strengthen the nation’s land and geospatial management systems.
The statement signed by Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, noted that the President’s approval was informed by the need for continuity in key reform projects already being implemented by Adebomehin.
“The Surveyor-General has already initiated reforms across critical sectors of geospatial data systems, which the President is keen to see completed,” the statement read.
President Tinubu reportedly tasked Mr. Adebomehin to “consolidate the reforms within the next two years,” with emphasis on national land management and administration, highways and abutting land infrastructure coordination, reclamation and erosion control programmes, and other matters of strategic national interest.
Mr. Adebomehin was first appointed as the Surveyor-General of the Federation by former President Muhammadu Buhari, effective January 5, 2022.
The statement reaffirmed President Tinubu’s commitment to ensuring seamless continuity in critical national technical offices that play pivotal roles in the country’s infrastructure development and spatial data governance.
