Gov Eno seeks power to bypass bidding for billion-naira contracts

Governor Umo Eno is pushing for a change in procurement laws to allow a special committee he chairs to directly award contracts worth billions of naira, bypassing standard tendering processes. This move has sparked concerns over transparency and the potential for favoritism, as critics worry it could undermine accountability. Such a shift could have significant implications for how government projects are funded and executed, raising questions about the balance between efficiency and oversight.
