The Managing Director of the Niger Delta Development Commission, Dr Samuel Ogbuku, says the commission is committed to complying with the provisions of the Public Procurement Act in project delivery.
Ogbuku stated this in Port Harcourt during a capacity-building training on public procurement for the NDDC executive management and directors.
Ogbuku explained that the training was necessary to ensure that management staff fully understood the procurement process.
This was contained in a statement issued in Port Harcourt on Tuesday by the NDDC Director of Corporate Affairs, Seledi Thompson-Wakama, and made available to journalists.
He noted that the commission’s contract award letters had been digitised to prevent the circulation of fake award letters, acknowledging that many directors and service providers had encountered problems with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission in the past due to fake or incorrect documentation.
