However, this Law was in a state of inertia for about five years during which nothing was achieved until the current administration led by Prince Dapo Abiodun MFR took a bold proactive step worthy of commendation to revive and give life to the Public Procurement (Amendment)Law, 2020 on the 28th July 2020 after it was passed by the 9th Assembly of Ogun State House of Assembly through an enrolled bill No:45/OG/2020.
- His Excellency, Prince Dapo Abiodun not only signed the bill into law but went further with the implementation of the Law by establishing the Bureau of Public Procurement with the appointment of the Director-General on the 9th December 2020.
