The DG made this known while receiving the African Development Bank (AFDB) delegation who were in his office, on the Appraisal Mission Program for the Economic Reform Programme.

He said, the review of the Public Procurement Act 2007, received inputs from different stakeholders. Adding that, the proposed amendment will take care of sustainable procurement, E-procurement and adequately take care of preferential procurement for Gender, Environmental and SMEs amongst many others.

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.
