  "account": "The Director-General of the Bureau of Public Procurement, Adebowale Adedokun, has called on Civil Society Organisations to monitor public projects from procurement planning to service delivery. Adedokun emphasized the role of civil society in enhancing transparency, accountability, and citizen participation in Nigeria's public procurement system. He urged CSOs to focus on whether projects met promised benefits, not just the correctness of contract awards. Adedokun proposed a structured framework for collaboration between the BPP and CSOs, focusing on capacity building, information access, monitoring, reporting, and citizens' engagement. He stressed the importance of maintaining CSO independence while engaging with government institutions. Adedokun reminded CSOs that every procurement decision affects hospitals, schools, roads, electricity, security, agriculture, employment, and public services. The goal is to improve public services and development outcomes through improved procurement accountability.",
