Compliance with the approved procurement requirement is critical in ensuring that due process procedures are fully observed and that projects meet all statutory procurement obligations before reaching the approval stage.
The bilateral engagements provided an opportunity for constructive dialogue, knowledge sharing, and clarification of procurement procedures, while reinforcing the commitment of the Kano State Government to good governance, transparency, and prudent management of public resources.
