In view of the incessant building collapse in the country the theme of this year’s congress, “Standardisation and Innovative Technologies in Nigeria’s construction industry” could not have come at a more opportune time than now. As we are gathered here, the National Emergency Management Agency    and    the Rivers state government are involved in the evacuation of    not less than a hundred people who are said to be trapped in the rumbles of a collapsed 7-storey building in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.

Minister of Water Resources, Suleiman Adamu, says Executive Order 5, is meant to improve local content.

THE President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration has once again provided further evidence of why many Nigerians continue to view the administration as at once anti-democratic and incompetent. The latest gaffe of this fumbling administration comes via a so-called ‘executive order 6’ or EO6 that the President’s Senior Special Assistance on Media, Garba Shehu, announced last weekend. A salient element of the executive order is the placement of some fifty Nigerians on a security watch list that demands the seizure of their passport and by that the restriction of their movement to Nigeria until cases of financial crime brought against them by the state have been determined.

THE Presidency Sunday night cleared the air on the Executive Order 6 which has generated controversy, saying that the present administration inherited from the previous administration the trial of 50 high profile persons directly involved in corrupt practices.

Presidential Executive Order N0. 5 will improve the quality of life of Nigerians by industrializing the country, creating employment and make Nigerians return on part of greatness.
