Executive Order 5 Meant To Improve Local Content – Minister
The Minister of Water Resources, Suleiman Adamu, says Executive Order 5 is meant to improve local content. Adamu spoke in Calabar, Cross River State at the 16th International Conference and Annual General Meeting of the Nigerian Institution of Civil Engineers, with the theme: “Transforming National Economy through Sustainable Civil Infrastructure.” He said the order empowers procuring authorities to give preference to Nigerian companies and firms in the award of contracts in line with the Public Procurement Act 2007. He said: “The proclamation of the Executive Order 5 is meant to improve local content and free up more jobs for Nigerians and increase access to procurement opportunities.” The minister, who spoke through his representative, Bassey Mkposong, urged professionals to explore inherent opportunities in the executive order. He said it has become more expedient for professionals to support the solution to Nigeria’s infrastructural deficit. “The need for appreciated technology and robust collaboration amongst professionals to address our infrastructural challenges have, more than ever before, become imperative,” he said.
