Following the recent establishment of Bureau for Public Procurement (BPP) in Nasarawa State, Governor Abdullahi Sule, has disclosed that henceforth all memos originating from Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs), will have to pass through due process before approval.
Engineer Sule made the disclosure in an opening remarks during the weekly State Executive Council meeting at the Government House, on Wednesday.
According to the Governor, it’s important for members of the executive council to braze up to the challenges, as it will no longer be business as usual, where memos are brought before him but that memos should now go through the due process in order to get the best for the state.
“It’s very important for us as members of the executive council to get ready. It’s no longer going to be business as usual, where people just bring memos to me for everything they want to buy.
“Memos now should go through due process, to make sure we are getting the best for the state,” Engineer Sule stated.
He emphasized that since his administration decided to tow the path of transparency, through the establishment of the BPE, there is no better way to practice that transparency than for memos to pass through due process.
The Governor used the opportunity to show appreciation to members of the council, as well as members of the State House of Assembly, for the efforts in ensuring that the state constitutes the BPP with all the procedures put in place.
He disclosed that interviews have been conducted for the four directorates that will be reporting directly to the director general of the bureau, with already four persons, identified and selected for the positions, awaiting approval for their engagement.
