COMMITTEE PLEDGES SUPPORT FOR BPP'S E-PROCUREMENT DRIVE
Earlier today at the National Assembly Complex, Abuja, Rt. Hon Unyime Idem PhD, presided over the budget defence of the Bureau of Public Procurement (BPP) for the 2026 fiscal year.
In his remarks, he assured of the Committee's commitment to review BPP's 2026 estimates to ensure it aligns with national priorities, particularly in strengthening compliance monitoring, deepening e-procurement implementation, and building institutional capacity across Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs), insisting that every Naira appropriated must translate into measurable impact for the Nigerian people.
He highlighted the urgent need to transit to e-procurement system in Nigeria, and therefore called on the leadership of the National Assembly and members of the House Committee on Public Procurement, to increase the budgetary provision for BPP in 2026, to facilitate the process.
He also used the opportunity to remind the BPP of the urgent need to forward to the National Assembly a comprehensive proposal for the amendment of the Public Procurement Act 2007, stressing that after nearly two decades of operations, evolving realities in digital procurement, fiscal reforms, and global best practices, the amendment is imperative.
