Human rights lawyer, Femi Falana
(SAN), has said that without decisive policy actions to ensure full
implementation of the Executive Order No 5, it will not work.
Falana stated this while speaking
at the Council of Registered Builders of Nigeria 2018 Congress with the theme:
Standardization and Innovative Technologies for Sustainable Development in
Nigeria’s Construction Industry.
He said since signing of the Order
by President Muhammadu Buhari in August, the government had not taken a
proactive step to make it work.
His words: “There must be a
decisive policy action to make the Executive Order 5 work. We should defend
this Order because, since its inception, the federal government has not taken
effective steps to make it work. The same thing applies to the local Content
Act on Oil and gas and the Petroleum Industry Scholarship Act of 1950.
“Unless many of our unemployed
and underemployed young men and women are trained and engaged, there is no way
these orders will work.”
