The renewed tenure, which takes effect on January 5, 2026, follows the recent relocation of the Office of the Surveyor-General of the Federation to the Presidency. With the transfer, all national surveying activities and geospatial intelligence operations will now function directly under the executive arm of government.

Under the extension, Adebomehin will remain in office until January 2028.
