Nigeria : Governor signs into law Osun Public Procurement Law 2015

Publish Date : 12-Feb-2016

In order to sustain transparency and accountability in state transactions, the Governor of Osun, Rauf Aregbesola, has signed the Osun Public Procurement Law 2015 into law.

The Public Procurement Law provides for public dissemination of information on state procurement which will guarantee citizens, especially small and medium businesses opportunities to take part in public procurement processes among others.

While signing the bill into law at the Executive Chamber Lounge of the governors office in Osogbo, Mr. Aregbesola, said procurement was one way government interfaces with the people and enlivens its local economy.

The governor said it was important that the state resources were managed judiciously and the procurement process seen to be transparent and equitable.

He said as steward of public money, the government, must be responsible and be seen to have got the best deal for the people with public funds.

He added,"Just today (Wednesday), a report in one of the newspapers compared the airport we are building in Osun to similar ones built by other states and concluded that ours is the cheapest, even when we have the longest runway. A recent similar comparison on the mega-schools we are constructing was done with that of a neighbouring state and also gave us a favourable rating, not just in cost but in quality. It is stuff like this that separates us from the rest. It is the need to have these values codified into law and make it bounding principles of governance for whoever is in government that motivated us to make this law."
