The Senate President, Bukola Saraki, has advocated the amendment of procurement laws at the state level as a quick fix to the protracted economic recession in Nigeria.
He also called on the state Houses of Assembly to take a cue from the senate by embarking on the review of the state procurement laws to draw attention to the patronage of local companies.
He made the call at Offa, Kwara state at an empowerment programme where the Senate Committee Chairman on Media, Aliyu Shabi and Mr Dino Melaye, absolved the senate chamber of corrupt practices.
“The present eighth senate has never and would never be involved in corrupt practices.”
They then added that the senate would continue to collaborate with the executive to fight the scourge.
Saraki, however expressed optimism that the amendment would create opportunities for many citizens, as government would be left with no choice than to prioritize local content in the award of contract in agencies and parastatals.
