President Bola Tinubu has approved a two-year tenure extension for the Surveyor-General of the Federation, Mr AbuduGaniyu Adebomehin.
The extension, effective from Jan. 5, 2026, was announced in a statement by Presidential Spokesperson, Bayo Onanuga on Wednesday in Abuja.
According to the statement, the move follows the recent transfer of the Office of the Surveyor-General of the Federation (OSGOF) to the Presidency.
”Adebomehin had launched key reforms in geospatial data systems, which the President wanted to see fully implemented.”
Tinubu directed Adebomehin to consolidate the reforms during the extension period.
He emphasised national priorities such as land management, highway infrastructure coordination, erosion control, and related strategic programmes.
Adebomehin was first appointed surveyor-general by late president Muhammadu Buhari, effective January 5, 2022.
Meanwhile, President Bola Tinubu has sought confirmation of the Senate for appointment of Dr Bernard Doro as minister.
Tinubu’s request was conveyed in a letter addressed to the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, and read at plenary on Wednesday.
“I am pleased to forward to the Senate on nomination of Dr Bernard Doro for confirmation as Minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
“While I hope that this request will receive the usual expeditious consideration of the Senate, please accept, the distinguished Senate President, the distinguished senators, the assurances of my highest regards,” the letter read in part.
Akpabio, thereafter, referred the request to the Committee of the Whole for further legislative inputs.
