**Federal Ministry of Education Warns Officials Against Procurement Irregularities** In a move aimed at promoting transparency and accountability in the management of public resources, the Permanent Secretary of the Federal Ministry of Education, Abel Olumuyiwa Enitan, has called on directors and members of the Ministerial Tenders Board to adhere strictly to procurement regulations and avoid actions that could undermine due process. During a meeting of the board in Abuja, Enitan emphasized the importance of complying with the provisions of the Public Procurement Act 2007 and other established procurement guidelines. He stressed that the Ministerial Tenders Board plays a crucial role in ensuring that government procurement processes are carried out in line with due process and established regulations. With the goal of promoting professionalism, objectivity, and diligence in reviewing documents and memoranda submitted for consideration, Enitan urged members of the board to maintain high standards of integrity. He also highlighted the need for strict compliance with procurement rules across government institutions, as evidenced by recent discussions with the Director General of the Bureau of Public Procurement. To ensure that all proceedings of the board are properly documented and endorsed, the Director of Procurement has been directed to maintain accurate official records. This move aligns with the ministry's commitment to strengthening procurement oversight and promoting transparency and accountability in the management of public resources. As Nigeria continues to grapple with issues of corruption and mismanagement of public funds, the Federal Ministry of Education's efforts to promote transparency and accountability in procurement activities serve as a positive step towards addressing these challenges. By adhering to established procurement guidelines and regulations, the ministry can ensure that public resources are managed efficiently and effectively, ultimately contributing to the development of the country.
