BPP Rejects PenCom’s Move to Cancel PAS Project

The Bureau of Public Procurement (BPP) has rejected the plan by the National Pension Commission (PenCom) to cancel the procurement process for the building of a Pension Administration System (PAS) estimated to cost N3.9 billion.

BPP has also warned the commission to be prepared to bear the consequences of further delaying the commencement of the PAS project.

PenCom under the leadership of Mrs. Chinelo Anohu-Amazu had selected a United States company, Dell, after BPP had issued a certificate of no objection, to handle the project.

However, the acting Director General of the commission, Mrs. Aisha Dahir-Umar, appeared uncomfortable with the contract and has therefore written to the BPP seeking to cancel the contract citing lack of funds and national interest.
