The Executive Secretary, National Sugar Development Council (NSDC), Latif Busari said the Council has put in place a system that upholds transparency, accountability and honesty in carrying out government’s businesses.
He said all information relating to the Council’s activities can be accessed freely without going through unnecessary bureaucratic bottlenecks.
The NSDC scribe, who spoke yesterday while flagging off the agency’s 2019 bid opening exercise for its capital projects, promised to ensure transparency in the entire process to ensure that the Council’s projects are executed by bidders who meet all the stipulated requirements and guidelines in line with the Procurement Act.
Busari said interested parties in the sugar sector should approach the Council for clarifications on issues relating to the industry, pointing out that the Council has keyed into the anti-corruption policy of the government which stresses the need for openness, transparency and due process in the discharge of government’s assignments.
He urged the bidding companies to abide by all the rules and regulations, so as to ensure a hitch-free exercise, saying modalities have been put in place to ensure that no one was denied the opportunity of taking part in the exercise.
