Mr. Ahmadu said, the Nigerian Open Contracting Portal (NOCOPO) has been enhanced for analysis by procurement officers who submit data, civil society bodies, citizens engagement and stakeholders, for increased disclosure of procurement information, pointing out that, over 400 MDAs have been granted access to the portal.

The DG, in addressing the issue of procurement in power sector said, Nigerians are anxious to get solutions on power especially in the area of power Generation, Transmissions and Distribution, adding that, procurement challenges in energy sector is the issue of vandalisation, insufficient funding and calls for the protection of power assets to prevent further risks. He emphasised that the projects that come to the Bureau are largely Transmission Lines and Substations, due to the fact that generation and distributions are private sector driven.

He stated that, the capacities of power generation is said to be at 28,000 megawatts, transmission at 10,000 Megawatts and the power distribution at 4,000 to 5,000 Megawatts, which is insufficient to the populace. He requested the AFDB to act quickly and support the sector, which he said will add value to the society.
