Bureau of Public Procurement (BPP), has applauded the Nigerian Army for its compliance with the provisions of the Public Procurement Act.
Its Director General, Mamman Ahmadu, made the commendation when he received the Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Tukur Buratai, in his office yesterday.
He stated that the improvement came as a result of the determination to comply with the provisions of the act by the army’s regular interface with the bureau for guidance and directions in its drive towards ensuring that “due process” was followed to the letter.
He noted that “valued engineering” in use in most procurement procedure emerged from the military procurement process.
He stated that the level of compliance in the military was traceable to its disciplined training that made it stickler to rules and regulations, coupled with standard operating procedures.
He assured the COAS that BPP would support the army in its efforts to follow due process.
Buratai said the Army would seek more collaboration and synergy with the BPP in future dealings in due process, stating that the military was an institution that complied with due process.
