Firm Boosts Federal Govt’s Data Generation With N232m Mapping Software

Surveyor-general of the federation (SGoF), Abuduganiyu Adebomehin has commended solution providing company, Sambus Geospatial Nigeria Limited, for its commitment to the generation of quality, accurate and real-time geographic data for Nigeria.

The SGoF made the commendation when he received five units of mapping software (ESRI Arc GIS Pro Advance with 10 extensions) donated to the Office of the Surveyor General of the Federation (OSGoF) by Mr. Taofeek Adebayo, a representative of the company recently in his office at the Survey House, Abuja.

Adebomehin said the Nigerian government would remain grateful for such gestures, adding that the five units of the software are worth N232 million.

He said the software would boost the capacity of OSGoF in providing a more accurate and real-time geospatial data for the Nigerian government and other users for effective planning and implementation of projects.

According to him, the office would be able to meet urgent demands of the government in generating data and providing maps for various challenges such as disaster management response, navigational maps for obstacles for safe flights especially during take-off and landing of aircraft.
