He urged those managing government resources to change and study the Procurement Law.

This, he said, would guarantee that govenment’s resources were well applied to meet people’s needs.

He asked MDAs to develop ideas leading to increase in revenue for the government.

The Service chief hailed the head and management of the PPA for the success the agency recorded in a short period.

He said the agency made remarkable achievements in entrenching transparency and due process in procurement.

Muri-Okunola hailed the e-registration/renewal of contractors to ease the process.

PPA’s General Manager Mr Fatai Idowu Onafowote said the event was organised to examine MDAs procurement plans to ensure that they  aligned with their approved Appropriation Law.

Onafowote added that the agency scheduled September 1 for modules of the e-Procurement Solution to “Go Live” in the state.

He said the modules would be implemented in three pilot ministries – Health, Education as well as Works and Infrastructure, and would be extended to others next year.
