UBEC urges SUBEB chairpersons to adhere to due procurement process
The Universal Basic Education Commission on Tuesday urged chairpersons of the State Universal Basic Education Board to follow due process in their procurement activities.
UBEC executive secretary Hamid Bobboyi said this would ensure a safeguarded future for Nigerian children through various educational projects.
The secretary spoke at the ongoing capacity building workshop for executive chairs and principal officers of SUBEBs in the 36 states and the FCT.
UBEC organised the event in collaboration with the Bureau of Public Procurement (BPP).
He stressed the importance of procurement in ensuring schools had the necessary resources to deliver quality education.
According to Mr Bobboyi, the decisions made in procurement directly impact students’ learning environment.
He said the training enhances transparency, accountability, and efficiency in procurement processes within basic education.
“The 2007 Procurement Act is a cornerstone of public procurement in Nigeria as it provides a comprehensive framework for conducting public procurement, ensuring fairness, equity, and value for money in all public transactions,” he said.
The UBEC chief maintained that by adhering to the principles and provisions of this Act, there would be a significant improvement in the quality of education delivery through optimising the utilisation of public funds.
