Oborevwori’s recognition by the BPP and ICPC highlights accountability and foresight, writes

· Public procurement may sound like a technical government function reserved for accountants, lawyers and procurement specialists. Yet it is arguably where governance succeeds or fails. Every road, school, hospital, bridge, water project or healthcare facility begins with procurement. It is the process through which taxpayers’ money is converted into tangible development.
·
· That is precisely why the recent Award of Excellence presented to Delta State Governor, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori, by the Bureau of Public Procurement (BPP) and the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) deserves closer attention. Unlike many ceremonial recognitions, this award is rooted in one of the most important pillars of governance which is the transparent and prudent management of public resources.
