The Edo State Public Procurement Agency (EDPPA) is a government agency in Edo State, Nigeria, that is responsible for regulating and overseeing the public procurement process in the state.[1] The EDPPA was established in 2012 by the Edo State Public Procurement Law, which repealed the Edo State Tenders Board Law of 1976. The EDPPA aims to ensure transparency, accountability, efficiency, and value for money in public procurement, as well as to promote local content and participation.[2]
The EDPPA was established by the Edo State Public Procurement Law, which was enacted by the Edo State House of Assembly and assented to by Adams Oshiomhole on 30 May 2012. The law repealed the Edo State Tenders Board Law of 1976, which had been in operation for over three decades. The law also established the Edo State Public Procurement Council, which is the highest policy-making body on public procurement in the state.[3]
The EDPPA became operational on 1 January 2013, with Henry Idogun as its first Executive Chairman.[4][5] The agency has its headquarters at 2nd Floor, Block D, New Secretariat Complex, Sapele Road, Benin City.[6]
