ANWIP asks Tinubu to establish national council on public procurement
The Association of Nigerian Women in Procurement has appealed to the federal government to inaugurate a national council on public procurement to strengthen procurement activities.
The national coordinator of ANWIP, Patricia Uka, made the appeal at the association’s end-of-year celebration in Lagos on Monday.
The National Assembly enacted the Public Procurement Act of 2007 in June 2007.
The act was created to streamline public procurement bidding, fight corruption in the procurement processes, have a level playing ground for participants in the economy, and ensure fairness, diversity and equality in wealth creation.
Ms Uka said inaugurating the council would help strengthen the Bureau of Public Procurement activities. According to her, human activities are centred around procurement.
She described procurement as the live wire of any government, family or individual. She added that after the act’s enactment, there ought to be an immediate inauguration of the council to guide the BPP, but that had not been done.
She also mentioned that women had always been the majority of those inducted by the Chartered Institute of Purchasing and Supply Management of Nigeria annually, concerning Lagos.
