“We will continue to partner with the services and other security and intelligence agencies to decisively address all threats to Nigeria while ensuring a conducive atmosphere for economic prosperity to thrive,” he added.

In his remarks, the Director of procurement (Army), Adeyinka Adereti, said the seminar was designed to sensitise stakeholders in the Nigerian army procurement system on emerging issues that impact the procurement process.

He said the army had continued to work closely with all stakeholders to ensure the effective procurement process, adding that it had strengthened operations and enhanced the overall force posture, enabling army to more effectively carry out its assigned tasks.
