FIRS tasks contractors on procurement process

The Executive Chairman, Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS), Mrs Omougui-Ifueko  Okauru, at the weekend tasked 391 registered contractors to FIRS on the need to ensure adherence to the rules and regulations guiding the public procurement process.
Okauru, who made this known at the opening of a one-day interactive session with the FIRS consultants and contractors, said there was the need for good and quality service delivery, professionalism and high ethical standard in the procurement process among stakeholders.
According to a press statement signed by the Director, Corporate Communications Department, Mr Emmanuel Obeta and made available to the Nigerian Tribune, Okauru said the service would be fair and just to stakeholders, while ensuring compliance with the rules and regulations of the Bureau of Public Procurement (BPP) in the award and implementation of contracts.
Okauru acknowledged that  there had been challenges confronting contractors and service providers, a situation the service was constantly trying to improve, but, however, advised stakeholders to always play by the rules,  in order to instill confidence in people, as well as communicate any processes that would necessitate delays in their projects execution.
