Lagos To Assist Ondo On Procurement Agency

The Lagos State Head of Service (HoS), Mrs Olabowale Ademola, has said the state government will support its Ondo State counterpart to establish a Public Procurement Agency.

Mrs Ademola spoke yesterday on behalf of Governor Akinwunmi Ambode when she hosted a delegation from Ondo State House of Assembly, led by Deputy Speaker Ogundeji Iroju.

The lawmakers were in Lagos to understudy their host on the establishment of the Public Procurement Agency.

The HoS said the lawmakers’ study visit underscored the need for regional integration and collaboration to further broaden and quicken the pace of Southwest development.

She said: “I will like to welcome you on behalf of Governor Ambode. We are indeed humbled by your visit to Lagos State to understudy the working of our Public Procurement Agency.”

Mrs Ademola noted that the visit will enable the lawmakers to have the first-hand experience on how to ensure the smooth passage of the Ondo State Public Procurement Agency Bill.

Iroju said the visit would enable his team to learn from Lagos State to replicate the agency in the Sunshine State since Lagos is the forerunner in Public Procurement administration in Nigeria.
