The decision was announced at the end of the fourth ordinary session of the Council of Ministers, chaired by President João Lourenço, in which they were informed of the survey on the state of maintenance and conservation of public and private buildings across the country and of buildings acquired by the State. abroad.
"The existence of several buildings with an evident lack of preventive and corrective maintenance was verified, some with severe signs of infiltration of wastewater and others with signs of structural instability", refers in a communiqué issued from the meeting.
A six-story building collapsed in the early hours of March 25, in Luanda, on Rua Comandante Valódia, without fatalities, according to the authorities, with the Luanda government pointing out the "exhaustion of the resistant capacity of the structural elements of the building".

The President's advisory body also recommended an "immediate intervention" for cases on the verge of ruin.
