The Bureau of Public Procurement (BPP) has sanctioned senior officers who failed to comply with deployment directives. The affected officers, from the Directorate Cadre at Salary Grade Levels 15 to 17, were directed by BPP Director-General Dr Adebowale Adedokun to return immediately to the bureau's headquarters in Abuja. The directive follows an earlier query issued to the officers, according to a statement by Zira Nagga, Head of Press and Public Relations at BPP. Adedokun emphasized that strict compliance with posting instructions is essential to maintaining discipline and professional ethics within the procurement system. He stated that non-compliance undermines accountability, career progression, and standardized procurement practices. In the interim, the most senior procurement officers in the affected Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs) have been instructed to assume responsibility for procurement activities to ensure uninterrupted service delivery. Adedokun reiterated that the deployment of officers supports capacity distribution, knowledge transfer, and the prevention of collusion. He warned that disregard for posting orders compromises transparency, efficiency, and value for money in public spending. The bureau remains committed to building a competent and ethical procurement workforce in line with the National Procurement Certification Programme and SPESSE Centres of Excellence.
