According to the appointment letter, the new council will be inaugurated on Tuesday, July 21, 2026, at the SGF Hall, Shehu Shagari Complex, Three Arms Zone, Abuja.

The letter stated that the council’s membership reflects a broad representation of key stakeholders in the surveying profession, including representatives of the Nigerian Institution of Surveyors from various states, academic institutions offering surveying programmes, the military and other relevant interest groups.

Akinwande, a retired director in the Office of the Surveyor-General of the Federation, hails from Oyo town.

Adeoye currently serves as the Surveyor-General of Oyo State, while Shiyanbola, an indigene of Ipapo in Itesiwaju Local Government Area, is a former Chairman of the Oyo State branch of the Nigerian Institution of Surveyors and also served as Secretary of the institution’s Board of Fellows.

The appointments are expected to strengthen the leadership of the Surveyors Council of Nigeria as it continues to regulate and promote professional standards within the country’s surveying sector.
