President Bola Tinubu has approved a two-year tenure extension for the Surveyor-General of the Federation, Mr. AbuduGaniyu Adebomehin, to strengthen ongoing reforms in Nigeria’s geospatial data and land administration systems.
The announcement was made on Wednesday in a statement by the Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga.
According to the statement, the tenure extension will take effect from January 5, 2026, following the recent transfer of the Office of the Surveyor-General of the Federation to the Presidency — a move that places geospatial intelligence and national surveying operations directly under the executive arm.
Adebomehin’s extended term will now run until January 2028.
Onanuga stated that,
“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 first appointed as Surveyor-General of the Federation by former President Muhammadu Buhari, effective January 5, 2022.
