President Muhammadu Buhari has signed Executive Order 11 into law, which reorganizes the country’s national public building maintenance.
The president signed the document right before the start of the weekly virtual Federal Executive Council, FEC, meeting at the Presidential Villa’s Council Chambers in Abuja.
The president urged all Ministries, Departments, and Agencies to establish maintenance departments in accordance with the requirements of the new Executive Order, claiming that it lends legal backing to the country’s national maintenance program.
The order had previously been approved by the FEC.
He said, “Since the approval of the policy by the Federal Executive Council, the federal government has consciously started the implementation of maintenance of strategic facilities like the federal secretariat Abuja and federal secretariats in 24 states of the federation, where at least 40 people are now daily employed in each of those 24 secretariats.
“In order to ensure the fullest implementation and impact of the policy, it is my pleasure to sign this Executive Order that ties maintenance direct to our economy.
