Registrar and Chief Executive Officer of the Chartered Institute of Purchasing and Supply Management of Nigeria, Prof Mohammed Aliyu has lamented that procurement and supply chain management tasks are being done by those who are not trained specialists.
Speaking in Lagos, during a brief ceremony to welcome those admitted for the 2025 Batch A graduate conversion programme of the Chartered Institute of Purchasing and Supply Management of Nigeria, Aliyu particularly lamented that this scenario is peculiar to the public sector.
He advocated that the office of procurement and supply chain manager should not be occupied by anybody with just any other degree, but those who have undergone special training. “The World Bank Study and Report, popularly referred to as the Country Procurement Assessment Report, which led to the establishment of Act 14 of 2007, provided sound and relevant partway, policy and procedures which would have helped both government and procurement professionals to become more responsible but were left unimplemented to the letter.
Speaking on the importance of the conversion programme, he said procurement ensures value for money, builds sound relationships and improves profitability.
