Tambuwal establishes due process unit ‘to curb waste’

Aminu Tambuwal, governor of Sokoto state, has established a due process office to “ensure efficient and effective monitoring of all public contracts” and check overlapping and waste.

Imam Imam, spokesman of the governor, confirmed this in a statement saying the new office will also promote prudence, transparency and accountability in government.

“The new office will promote professionalism in the execution of the procurement functions and streamline quality control practices,” the statement read.

“The due process office will also promote competition and transparency in project procurement leading to low and efficient cost of projects.

“It will also ensure proper project packaging and definition by prioritizing and recording and ensuring proper synchronization among the MDAs.

“This will eliminate a situation where many ministries, departments and agencies  (MDAs)  are pursuing  the same or similar need simultaneously with resultant lack of efficiency and effectiveness while creating overlapping and waste.”
