Mrs Habiba Lawal, Acting Secretary of the Government of the Federation, has directed Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) to commence procurement in anticipation of the passing of the 2017 Appropriation Bill.
She said this on Monday in Kaduna at the opening of the 1st batch conversion training for procurement cadre officers for federal parastatals and agencies, organised by the Bureau of Public Procurement (BPP).
Lawal was represented by Mr Yinka Aguda, Director, Planning, Research and Statistics.
“It is expected that the 2017 Appropriation Bill would soon be signed to enable the implementation of the budget.
“I have been briefed that the aim of this training is to strengthen the capacity of participants to implement the budget.
“MDAs are therefore enjoined to commence their procurement processes in anticipation of the passing of the Bill into law.’’
She said that public procurement was globally recognised as a tool for good governance because of its immense benefits and the key role it plays in preventing corruption.
