Sirika believes the objectives of the procurement law can still be achieved after its limitations are removed.

               
           
               
                   

Former Minister of State for Aviation, Hadi Sirika, has called on the Nigerian Senate to consider a review of the Public Procurement Act.

               
           
               
                   

The former senator said this while addressing lawmakers during his screening at the National Assembly on Friday, July 26, 2019. He's one of the former ministers who served during President Muhammadu Buhari's first term that got reappointed for a second time.

               
           
               
                   

The Public Procurement Act (2007) is the legislation that guides the monitoring and oversight of public procurement in Nigeria. The Act sets the standards and develops the legal framework and professional capacity for public procurement in the country.

               
           
               
                   

However, while addressing lawmakers on Friday, Sirika said the Act makes it difficult for the Federal Government to work.

               
           
               
                   

He said, "Through the experience I had in the last dispensation, I think there might be a need to reconsider the public procurement act.
