By Armstrong Tseaa, Makurdi
The Benue State Public Procurement Commission (BSPPC) has trained desk officers in the 23 local government areas of the state as part of measures to efficiency and accountability in the procurement processes of the state.
The Director General of the Commission, Engr. Dr. Comfort Adadu, who spoke at the opening of the two-day capacity building for desk officers, said the mission has been to ensure public resources are used efficiently, transparently and in a manner that yields the greatest value for the people of the State.
She noted that Governor Hyacinth Alia has placed the people of Benue first, ensuring that public funds are used effectively for sustainable development across the state with the introduction of eProcurement Portal for a more efficient procurement system.
The BSPPC DG noted that technology alone cannot guarantee success as the real difference lies in the people who drive the processes.
She stated that the Desk Officers are the backbone of the new era of procurements especially in building a system that will serve as a model for other states in the country.
Also speaking the Resident Anti Corruption Commissioner of Independent Corrupt Practices Commission (ICPC), Mr Mustapha Wala, who was represented by the Head of Public Enlightenment and Education Unit, commended the DG of BSPPC saying the training was the first of its kind.
