The Director-General, Bureau of Public Procurement (BPP), Mamman Ahmadu, has urged procurement officers to ensure integrity and transparency in their dealings at all times.
In a statement issued by Janet McDickson, BPP’s Head of Media on Monday in Abuja, Ahamadu made the call while addressing participants of 2023 Continuous Procurement Capacity Development Training Programme (CPCDTP).
He was quoted as commending the zeal participants exhibited during the three weeks capacity training and urged them to use the knowledge they acquired to impact positively in their different organisations to enable them to get better results in procurement process and improve the economy.
He also urged them to use and comply with the exam guidelines document given to them.
Earlier, the Director, Research Training and Strategic Planning in the Bureau, Mr Adebowale Adedokun, cautioned the participants against any improper behaviour or any action inimical to the exam guidelines.
Adedokun advised them to strictly apply what they had learnt during the training in the discharge of their duties.
He explained that the examination serves three purposes:
- To prepare them for their roles and responsibilities as procurement officers in achieving the strategic objective of their organisations.
- To test the knowledge of their understanding of the procurement process; and,
- To formally absorb them into the procurement cadre.”
Participants should use the knowledge acquired to impact positively in their different organisations, to enable them to get better results in the procurement process and improve the economy.
