President Bola Tinubu has approved the appointment of retired surveyor, Moshood Akinwande, as the President of the Surveyors Council of Nigeria (SURCON), alongside the appointment of Olusoji Adeoye and Olaribigbe Shiyanbola as council members representing Oyo State.
The appointments were confirmed in a letter signed by the Permanent Secretary, General Services Office, Ibrahim Abubakar, on behalf of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, George Akume.
A copy of the letter, obtained in Ibadan on Sunday, stated that the new council would be inaugurated on Tuesday, July 21, 2026, at the SGF’s Hall, Shehu Shagari Complex, Three Arms Zone, Abuja.
Part of the letter read, “I write with reference to the above subject to forward herewith a copy of Mr President’s approval for the appointment of the President and members of the Surveyors Council of Nigeria and to convey the Secretary to the Government of the Federation’s approval for the inauguration of the council.
“The new council members will be inaugurated on Tuesday, July 21, 2026, at the SGF’s Hall, Shehu Shagari Complex, Three Arms Zone, Abuja.
“Members cut across various interest groups, including representatives of the Nigerian Institution of Surveyors from the states, academic institutions offering surveying courses, the military, among others.”
