The Network for the Actualization of Social Growth and Viable Development (NEFGAD), a public procurement advocacy group, has faulted a World Bank recommendation that the Bureau of Public Procurement (BPP) be stripped of its regulatory power to issue Certificates of No Objection to contracts.
NEFGAD in a 6-point position paper presented to the president and other relevant institutions on Tuesday and signed by its Head of Office, Mr Akingunola Omoniyi, warned the Federal government against bowing to external pressure capable of undermining and derailing the successes recorded by the public procurement Act implementation in the last 17 yeears.
