IBEJU-Lekki Local Government has opened bids for projects, demonstrating commitment to transparency, accountability, and value-driven governance.
Chairman, Abdullahi Olowa, was represented at the event by Secretary to the Local Government, Adewale Adebanjo.
Adebanjo, in a statement by Akadiri Ayorinde, chief Press secretary to the chairman, noted procurement is not merely a routine exercise but the bedrock of sustainable development.
“Our administration recognises that procurement goes beyond routine procedures. It is the foundation upon which sustainable development is built. Every project undertaken by this council must be guided by due process, fairness, and value for money,” Adebanjo said on behalf of the chairman.
