What are the processes of procurement in Nigeria, and are they transparent?

Procurement processes differ across sectors and companies, but globally recognised processes for goods and service acquisitions should be transparent. While the public sector in Nigeria may not be fully transparent, some multinational corporations in the private sector are deploying strategic procurement tools and technologies that greatly improve operations. Transparency can be improved with better auditing, real-time monitoring, and end-to-end stakeholder management. Embracing technology is crucial for this improvement.

What is the value of procurement in Nigeria and its impact on the Nigerian economy?

Procurement affects the bottom line of any country. Effective procurement practices contribute significantly to Nigeria’s economic growth, social progress, and overall development. They help develop infrastructure, improve public services, and enhance citizens’ quality of life. However, poor procurement can lead to corruption, inefficiency, and waste, hindering development. The impact of procurement in Nigeria depends on the effectiveness and integrity of its procurement systems.

How would you rate the procurement and supply chain industry in Nigeria?
The procurement and supply chain industry in Nigeria is still growing. We have not yet reached our full potential, but there is hope. Embracing enablers and being intentional and patient with our efforts can improve the industry’s outlook.

What are the advantages and challenges of Procurement and Supply?

Effective procurement and supply chain optimization improve quality control, efficiency, and stakeholder collaboration. They also enable better forecasting, planning, risk management, and data-driven decision-making. However, challenges include forex volatility, cultural differences, capacity constraints, and global logistics. These issues require procurement professionals to fulfil requirements under challenging conditions.

How can Nigeria tackle issues of breach of trust and corruption in the procurement system?
To address trust breaches and corruption, Nigeria must implement a transparent and accountable procurement process prioritising openness, competitiveness, and value for money. Establishing a robust legal framework, using technology for real-time monitoring, optimising the Bureau of Public Procurement, promoting citizen engagement, and ensuring public access to procurement information are key steps.
