President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has approved the extension of the tenure of the Surveyor-General of the Federation, AbuduGaniyu Adebomehin, by two years.
This was made known in a statement on Wednesday by the Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga.
According to Onanuga, President Tinubu extended Adebomehin’s tenure because the Surveyor-General has already initiated reforms across critical sectors of geospatial data systems, and the President is keen to see the projects completed.
He added that 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 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,” the statement noted.
Naijaonpoint reports that Adebomehin was appointed the Surveyor-General of the Federation (SGoF) by the late President Muhammadu Buhari on January 5, 2022.
This development comes hours after President Tinubu sent a letter to the Senate, requesting the confirmation of Dr Bernard Mohammed Doro from Plateau State for appointment as a Minister.
Dr. Doro’s nomination follows the emergence of Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda as the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in July 2025.
The development was confirmed in a statement on Tuesday by President Tinubu’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga.
The statement said the appointment is subject to confirmation by the Senate.
