The Bureau of Public Procurement (BPP) and the Standards Organisation of Nigeria (SON) are collaborating to ensure that government procurement complies with the Nigeria First Policy in a bid to encourage patronage of made-in-Nigeria products.
While signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to strengthen the application of Nigerian Industrial Standards (NIS), Dr Adebowale A. Adedokun of BPP and Dr Ifeanyi Chukwunonso Okeke emphasised the need for support of the Federal Government’s Nigeria First policy.
According to a statement by Zira Zakka Nagga, the MoU establishes a cooperation framework to ensure that goods, works, and services procured by the government comply with relevant Nigerian Industrial Standards and encourages the adoption of local content and the use of Made-in-Nigeria products that meet approved quality benchmarks.
The statement noted that “with the signing of the MoU, both institutions reaffirm their commitment to improving quality outcomes in Government projects and advancing transparency, competitiveness, and value-for-money in line with the Nigeria First policy”
