Projects’ Execution: Society Urges FG To Act In Line With Executive Order-5
The Nigerian Society of Engineers has urged the Federal Government to act in line with Executive Order-five by encouraging more multinational engineering firms to employ Nigerian engineers.
The Chairman of the Society Lagos State branch, Musliudeen Agoro gave the advice while speaking in Lagos.
It would be recalled that President Muhammadu Buhari had  on February 12, 2018 in Abuja,  signed Executive Order-5 that stipulates the need to improve local content in public procurement with science, engineering and technology components.
Agoro said that signing of the executive order by President Buhari had empowered and protected the local engineers, local suppliers and local contractors such that Nigerian engineers could lead projects.
He, however, said that signing of the executive order might not be enough, and called for its enforcement, government’s full backing and encouragement to enable Nigerian engineers to secure and also lead in execution of projects.
