President Muhammadu Buhari has signed Executive Order 11 on national public building maintenance policy. The signing of the document was done before the start of Wednesday’s Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting at the Council Chambers of the State House, Abuja.
The president, speaking shortly before appending his signature, directed all ministries, departments and agencies (MDAs) of government to set up maintenance departments in line with the provisions of the new executive order.
He said the order gave legal backing to the country’s national maintenance policy, following its earlier approval by FEC.
Buhari added that government had already started utilising the policy to give facelift to some of its buildings like the Federal Secretariat, Abuja and 24 others spread across the country.
