Tinubu extends Surveyor-General’s tenure by two years

President Bola Tinubu has approved the extension of the tenure of AbuduGaniyu Adebomehin, the Surveyor-General of the Federation, by two years.

Bayo Onanuga, special adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, said the extension, which takes effect from January 5, 2026, was necessitated by 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 said President Tinubu expects that Adebomehin consolidate the reforms within the next two years, focusing on national land management and administration.

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