In your submission you've some salient points but cutting down on frivolities is good but most importantly our procurement process in Nigeria is shrouded in secrecy and corruption For example the Coastal Road was awarded to HITECH Co. without proper bidding

President Bola Tinubu (since assuming office in May 2023) has overseen the procurement and launch of approximately 230 emergency medical vehicles in a major rollout on May 29, 2026, as part of the National Emergency Medical Service and Ambulance System (NEMSAS) and Nigeria Health Sector Renewal Investment Initiative. statehouse.gov.ng

Enterprise AI contracts from 2024 are in renewal cycles now. Procurement is asking for utilization reports. Most vendors can't produce them. The 'AI adoption' metric that went to boards was seats purchased, not features actually used.

Under Nigeria's Public Procurement Act 2007, due process for a ₦15T works contract like the coastal road requires: 1. Procurement planning, needs assessment & budget integration by the entity's Planning Committee. 2. Open competitive bidding (default method) advertised in ≥2 national newspapers Federal Tenders Journal. 3. Pre-qualification of bidders for complex projects. 4. Public bid opening, evaluation by committee against pre-disclosed criteria (lowest evaluated responsive bid). 5. Approvals: Tenders Board → BPP Certificate of No Objection → FEC for high-value projects. 6. Award notification, debriefing of losers on request independent observers (private sector NGO) invited throughout. Restricted bidding needs specific justification & BPP approval; direct award is exceptional. This ensures competition, transparency & accountability.

Aku share sedikit ya, Procurement adalah tentang: strategi negosiasi membangun hubungan memahami kebutuhan bisnis Supplier murah tapi sering terlambat bisa membuat perusahaan rugi lebih besar.

Procurement bukan cuma beli barang. Banyak orang salah paham tentang procurement, mereka pikir tugasnya hanya mencari harga termurah, Padahal kenyataannya jauh lebih kompleks sebenarnya

See who I am arguing with. So, a contract of that magnitude will be bidded for in a 'room'. Lol. What happened to Public procurement act? @grok, summarise the steps the government should have taken before awarding the 15 trillion coastal road if due process was followed?

Did you know? India supplies 70% of the world's antiretroviral drugs, 55-60% of UNICEF's vaccine needs and 20% of global generic medicines. Backed by a ₹4.72 lakh crore pharma sector, Indian medicines reach more than 190 countries. Supporting this healthcare transformation, GeM has enabled transparent, efficient, and timely procurement of vaccines, medical supplies, and healthcare equipment, strengthening last-mile delivery across the country. #12YearsOfSwasthBharat @PMOIndia @PiyushGoyal @DoC_GoI @mygovindia @MoHFW_INDIA @MinistryWCD

PART 1 of 4: THE HIRED PEN AND THE MISSING GHc39 BILLION COCOA MONEY Somewhere in Ghana tonight, a cocoa farmer is staring at a room full of beans he cannot sell, waiting for money he has not received since October 2025, calculating losses on a price cut that has no precedent in one hundred years of cocoa history, and Kay Codjoe is quoting Schopenhauer. This is where we are. This is what the COCOBOD Files have produced. Seven parts announced. Philosophers deployed. Pinocchio measured. persistence investigated. NPP founding fathers summoned from the grave. Accountability chains constructed with architectural precision. De Tocqueville consulted. Sir Walter Scott recruited. @lordcudjoe nodding approvingly from somewhere nearby. And the farmer is still in that room. With those beans. Waiting. Now. Before i proceed to the substance of this piece, and there is devastating substance, let us address the matter of the hired pen. Because Kay Codjoe has spent considerable energy being offended by that description. He has written paragraphs about it. He has measured Pinocchio inches over it. He has quoted Sir Walter Scott's tangled web in its direction. Which tells you everything. Because when a writer produces a seven-part forensic series about COCOBOD's finances, and across every installment, every exchange, every philosophical citation, never once calls on the government he is writing about to pay 800,000 farmers who have not been paid since October 2025, the question of who commissioned the pen is not an insult. It is a forensic observation. A free pen writes about the farmer. A hired pen writes around him. Kay Codjoe has written around him with big grammar, considerable vocabulary, and the complete bibliography of Western philosophy. The farmer is still in the room. The pen has been hired. The evidence is the silence. LET US TALK ABOUT GH¢39 BILLION: Because Kay Codjoe loves numbers. He has dedicated a significant portion of his adult life this year to numbers. He arranges them as he pleases, forgetting that, numbers don’t lie. He sequences them dramatically. He presents them with the solemn authority of a man who has personally counted every cedi and found it guilty. So Kay, here is a number for your next installment. GH¢39 billion. That is what COCOBOD collected in revenue in 2025. Not according to NPP propaganda. Not according to miracle narratives. According to Ato Forson. The NDC's own Finance Minister. The man your government appointed to count the money. GH¢39 billion came in. GH¢26 billion is the debt you have been weeping about across seven installments. Which means, and please follow this carefully because the arithmetic is admittedly complex, you collected thirteen billion cedis more than the debt you inherited. Thirteen. Billion. Cedis. More. And the farmer has not been paid since October 2025. Now. A free pen, an independent, unencumbered, genuinely forensic pen, would have seen that GH¢39 billion figure and immediately asked: where did it go? Why has the farmer not been paid? How does a system collect thirty-nine billion cedis and still find no money for the people who grew the cocoa? A hired pen sees GH¢39 billion and writes Part Four about procurement chains from 2019. We see you, Kay. So before Part Four of the COCOBOD Files arrives, before another philosopher is consulted, before another accountability chain is mapped, before another inch is added to my Pinocchio nose, perhaps the hired pen could explain, in plain Ghanaian English, what happened to GH¢39 billion. Did it evaporate? Did it travel abroad for further studies? Did it attend a conference it has not returned from? Where is the money, Kay? NB: Before Part 4 of the COCOBOD Files arrives, we have a table for Kay Codjoe. No philosophers needed. Just two columns. Two governments. Two very different choices. The table that cannot be written away, coming in Part 2.
