President Bola Tinubu has ordered the relocation of the Office of the Surveyor-General of the Federation (OSGoF) from the Ministry of Works to the Presidency.
The Minister of Information and National Orientation,
Mohammed Idris, made the announcement following Thursday’s Federal Executive
Council (FEC) meeting, which was presided over by the President.
According to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), the directive
is intended to enhance the coordination of geospatial data management and
provide more direct oversight of national mapping and land administration
priorities.
While the minister did not offer specific reasons for the
reassignment, the move is consistent with the administration’s reform agenda
and its increasing dependence on geospatial intelligence for planning,
infrastructure development, and security mapping.
The OSGoF is the country’s apex mapping agency, responsible
for providing geospatial information, data, and services.
