‘To complete geospatial reforms’ — Tinubu extends surveyor-general Adebomehin’s tenure by two years

President Bola Tinubu has approved a two-year tenure extension for Abudulganiyu Adebomehin, surveyor-general of the federation.

In a statement on Wednesday, Bayo Onanuga, special adviser to the president on information and strategy, said the extension will take effect from January 5, 2026.

Onanuga said the decision followed the recent transfer of the office of the surveyor-general of the federation (OSGOF) to the presidency.

“The Surveyor-General has already initiated reforms across critical sectors of geospatial data systems, which the President is keen to see completed,” the statement reads.

“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.

“Abdulganiyu Adebomehin was appointed the Surveyor-General of the Federation (SGoF) by the late President Muhammadu Buhari, effective January 5, 2022.”
