In order to avoid hiring someone who is unqualified for the position, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has been urged to step in during the nomination of a substantive Director General of the Bureau of Public Procurement (BPP).The importance of the agency, according to the Contractors Association of Nigeria, made it necessary to ensure that the proper individual is appointed.An engineer with extensive knowledge of contract and procurement fundamentals has always served as the BPP's executive director. It should come as no surprise that a group that claimed to have the support of the presidency is projecting a director general for BPP who is not an engineer but a business administration graduate.
