Surveyor-General of the Federation (SGoF), Abuduganiyu Adebomehin has appealed to President Bola Tinubu to approve the release of a special fund to enable them transmit documents/records to the cloud storage system.

Adebomehin made the plea at the presentation to facilitate the Service Wide Personnel Management System Implementation Handholding Exercise for the members of management and staff at the Survey House in Abuja.
