The bureau also reported reduced contract approval timelines.
The Bureau of Public Procurement has unveiled a transformative strategy to strengthen trust and transparency in Nigeria’s public procurement system.
Mr Attah said over 40,000 candidates had so far been trained through capacity-building programmes, assessments and professional certification.
He warned that any officer found guilty of procurement misconduct would face prosecution or posting out.
The DG noted that the federal government’s procurement reforms aim to promote transparency, accountability, and economic growth.
“We are not just changing processes; we are securing Nigeria’s future by ensuring every naira works for our people,” he stated.
Mr Adedokun said the BPP would henceforth sanction procurement officers who mislead their chief executives on procurement processes.
The Bureau of Public Procurement has postponed the commencement date for the exclusive electronic submission of requests and documents to Monday.
Mr Adedokun said this in a statement by his spokesman, Zira Nagga, on Friday, at the 65th Annual General Conference of the Nigerian Bar Association in Enugu.
He said that 80 per cent of UNDP’s work involved procurement, making BPP a crucial partner.
