Senate To Investigate Bureau of Public Procurement

The Upper Chamber made the resolution on Wednesday after Senator Dino Melaye alleged that monumental corruption was taking place in the BPP.

Senator Melaye, one of the lawmakers representing Kogi State at the Upper House, urged the Senate to take concrete steps to clean up the agency.

The officials at the agency were accused of engaging in underhand dealings in the issuance of ‘certificate of no objection’ for contracts awarded by procurement entities.

The Senate has mandated its Committee on Public Procurement to investigate the allegations that officials of the BPP were corruptly enriching themselves and abusing the agency’s powers to issue the certificates for their personal gains.
