The statement noted that in view of the critical functions of the office, the House Committee on Works and Housing, expressed the need for the review of the Survey Coordination Act of 1962.

Chairman of the committee, Hon.

During the session with the SGoF, the committee observed that the office was capable of generating huge amount of money for the country, prompting the need to mainstream surveying and mapping activities in the country.

Members of the committee also noted the need for the posting of surveyors to all Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) of the government and working on all surveying and mapping components from MDAs to OSGoF for revenue generation and proper management.

Meanwhile, the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (UNECA) has donated equipment for Continuously Operating Reference Station (CORS) to the office in Abuja.

Executive Director of AFRIGIST, Dr. Adewale Akingbade who presented the equipment on behalf of UNECA said the equipment was the first set of the two that would be given to OSGoF as part of its support for its activities.
