The Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Defence, Ambassador Danjuma Sheni, sounded the warning at the first army seminar on procurement with the theme,”Enhancing Nigerian Operations Through Effective Procurement System”. Sheni who spoke at the Nigerian Army Resource Centre, Mambilla Barracks, Abuja, said the federal government had recently prohibited officers of other cadres from the procurement functions, noting that the seminar was quite timely for the Nigerian Army and the services in building the capacity of its procurement cadre. The Permanent Secretary, represented by Director Procurement in the ministry, Engr. Michael Chukuma, said before the current government took over office in May, 2015, defence procurement process were ad-hoc and unpredictable which led to the setting up of the presidential committee on the Audit of Defence Equipment Procurement from 2007-2015. He said :”I will like to place on record that with the able leadership of President Muhammadu Buhari, the procurement procedures in the ministry and indeed the services are now re-organised and designed to follow due process in line with the provision of the Public Procurement Act, 2007 and other government directives,” The Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Tukur Buratai who was represented by Chief of Policy and Plans, Maj Gen Chris Jemitola said when they were appointed in July, 2015 that there were serious allegations against the Nigerian Army in its procurement of its platforms and logistics. Buratai noted that they had to streamline the procurement process in line with the public procurement Act, 2007 to international best practices and other sundry government policies relating to procurement. According to him the army’s equipment profile has tremendously improved and as can be noticed in our recorded successes in various operations especially in operation Lafiya Dole. “This is to keep up with President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration determination to stamp out corruption and irregularities in the Nigerian public service and other areas. “Our approach to procurement in army headquarters has made a real difference to our operations across the nation and peace support operations outside the country,” he said. ]]>
