The Chartered Institute of Purchasing and Supply Management of Nigeria (CIPSMN) has stressed the need for government to set up a national council on public procurement, to checkmate the excesses of the Bureau for Public Procurement of Nigeria (BPP) and reduce mismanagement of fund in Nigeria. Aliyu noted that establishment of the council became imperative because government invest massively in procurement in Nigeria. He explained that for Nigeria to tackle the problem of corruption a National council for procurement must be established, while the law establishing the profession in Nigeria must be implemented to the letters. I think we should develop more than this in terms of procurement so that the issue of corruption can be reduced. “In united Kingdom last year, law makers were agitating for the creation of ministry of procurement but in Nigeria, we are still battling with setting up a national council for procurement.
