Minister Admits Lapses In Power Contract Awards
The Minister of Power, Lanre Babalola has said that there were lapses in the award of contract in the power sector.
Babalola said this at the opening of a two-day workshop on public procurement in Abuja organised by the Bureau of Public Enterprises.
“There are lapses in the award of contracts. There are things that need to be looked into properly before awarding any contract. I think that is where information comes in. It is important to plan properly and make sure that we do the right thing. There must be transparency in all we do and there should also be value for money.”
The minister however said that the lapses were internal issues and that there were processes that needed to be adhered to
