Stakeholders urge NPA to probe bidding process

A group of concerned bidders in the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA) cargo surveys contract have urged management of the authority to investigate its bidding process.

In a petition dated May 25, 2019 titled: Re: Cargo Surveys Contract Bids –

Attempts To Derail The Due Process, and addressed to Managing Director of NPA the group alleged the bidding process did not follow due process when viewed against Federal Government transparent campaign policy

But a source dismissed the claim saying the NPA followed due process in its bidding processes.

According to the group, some companies that did not qualify were allowed to bid for the contracts and won such bids, an action they claimed, contravened laid down rules and procedures.
