[6/17, 08:06] Zira AD FMINO PC: BUREAU OF PUBLIC PROCUREMENT (BPP) PRESS RELEASE BPP, NBA INAUGURATE JOINT COMMITTEE TO STRENGTHEN PROCUREMENT REFORMS The Bureau of Public Procurement (BPP) and the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) have taken a major step towards embedding legal expertise into Nigeria’s public procurement system with the inauguration of a Joint Committee on Procurement Reforms. The Committee was formally inaugurated during the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the two institutions at the BPP Headquarters in Abuja. The partnership is designed to deepen collaboration in four critical areas: public procurement administration, legal practice, capacity building, and policy reform. The overall objective is to enhance transparency, accountability, and value for money in the management of public funds through procurement. In his welcome address, the Director General/Chief Executive Officer of BPP, Dr. Adebowale A. Adedokun, FCIPS, stressed the central role of legal practitioners in safeguarding public expenditure and advancing procurement reforms. Dr. Adedokun observed that Nigeria currently has a shortage of lawyers with specialised knowledge in public procurement, which creates gaps in contract administration, dispute resolution, policy drafting, and the prosecution of procurement-related infractions. “Nigeria lack lawyers who are vast and experienced in procurement, hence we must grow lawyers who understand procurement,” the DG said. “By building this capacity within the legal profession and the judiciary, we will strengthen the integrity of the procurement process and improve service delivery to citizens.” He added that the collaboration will also produce procurement-savvy judicial officers and law students, creating a pipeline of professionals who can interpret and apply the Public Procurement Act effectively. Mazi Afam Osigwe, SAN, the NBA President, reaffirmed the Association’s commitment to promoting transparency, accountability, and professionalism in public procurement. He noted that weaknesses in procurement processes are a major cause of abandoned projects and waste of public resources. In a major announcement at the event, Osigwe, SAN disclosed that procurement law and practice will now be taught as a dedicated course at the NBA Institute of Legal Education. He said the move will ensure newly admitted lawyers are conversant with procurement principles before entering practice. A highlight of the ceremony was the inauguration of the BPP-NBA Joint Committee, tasked with driving the implementation of the MoU. The committee’s mandate includes developing training curricula and certification pathways for lawyers and judicial officers on procurement law and practice, advising on legal and policy reforms to strengthen the Public Procurement Act and its regulations, supporting BPP in the review of complex contracts and the prosecution of procurement infractions and organising joint sensitisation programmes for MDAs, private sector actors, and civil society on procurement compliance. This partnership comes at a time when BPP is intensifying its oversight of procurement across MDAs, including the ongoing Second Batch Procurement Audit. By equipping the legal community with procurement expertise, the collaboration aims to reduce litigation risks, improve contract enforcement, and ultimately ensure that public funds deliver maximum value to Nigerians. e-Signed: Zira Zakka Nagga Head of Press and Public Relations (BPP) June 17th, 2026 [6/17, 08:07] Zira AD FMINO PC: Right: Director-General, Bureau of Public Procurement (BPP) Dr. Adebowale A.
