The Senate rejected a motion to review its contract award process. The proposal, aiming to align with procurement regulations, was deemed premature by senators who argued for internal review first. Senate President Godswill Akpabio stated a need to understand the National Assembly budget before assessing procurement changes.
Sponsored by Senator Sunday Karimi, the motion sought an Internal Tenders Board. However, opponents like Senator Adamu Aliero suggested focusing on establishing a Budget and Research Office instead. Akpabio also noted the motion lacked prior consultation with leadership.
