[b]•Incompetence Corruption of civil servants key factors Corruption and incompetence of civil servants who routinely collaborate with contractors to undermine the execution of projects have been identified as the major impediments to optimum budget performance in the country. This emerged as the performance of the 2009 budget was put at put at 60.59 percent. Even then the seeming average performance was only achieved when the supplementary budget which was signed in December last year was implemented. The country has witnessed low implementation of its annual budget since 2004 and many projects that would have improved the life of the citizenry were not executed with the allocation for such projects pocketed by government officials. This persisted until the Umaru Yar’Adua administration came to power in 2007 and directed that unspent capital allocations should be returned to the treasury. Over N400 billion unspent funds in the 2008 budget was returned to the treasury while about N350 billion was returned from the 2007 budget. The truth about the poor budget performance came courtesy of the panel set up by the Finance ministry comprising Iyiola Omisore, chairman, Senate committee on appropriation; Grace Ekpiwhire, minister of state for works and housing and Emeka Eze, director-Ggeneral, Bureau of Public Procurement otherwise known as Due Process Office. The panel spoke at the workshop on “Strengthening budget implementation for enhanced project execution and service delivery.” Eze who spoke on behalf of the panel supported the stance with statistics pointing out that many government officials are incompetent and blindfolded by corruption. According to him, BPP certified 566 projects worth N1.94 trillion out of the 602 requests by the ministries, department and agencies (MDA) in 2009. Thirty six projects are still awaiting response while 10 were rejected. “It is unfortunate that less than 300 of the 566 contracts certified have been presented to the Federal Executive Council for ratification and award”, said the BPP boss. He debunked MDA officials’ excuse that BPP was delaying certification of contracts, stating that fake documents were sometimes submitted by contractors who are incompetent to handle contracts. “Most of the challenges are caused by the contractors who go around and submit fake papers, bribe officials and get politicians to get them pre-qualified. It is a circulated fact that they pay N5 million to get pre-qualification”, he said. Ekpiwhire, minister of state for ministry for works and housing, cited pre-qualification of cronies of government officials who lack capacity for contract execution as factors that also account for poor budget implementation. “Government contracts are concentrated in the hands of few cronies of those with responsibility to pre-qualify contractors for contracts and it has been observed that these contractors lack the capacity to handle contracts of such magnitude. We have also seen that a contractor with limited equipment may be handling several contracts in different parts of the country. We have also discovered cases where genuine contractors who were pre-qualified were not informed of the certification of such contracts. In cases like this, the contracts are left unattended to despite the allocation of funds for the project”, the minister said. [/b] Just would like to share this with you as colleague professionals,i think its the same old story and no action. |

Hi Guys I have been following this tread for a while and i need a bit of advice, presently i work as a software developer in the UK and also studying for an MBA at the moment. My preferred situation will be to move back home after the MBA, now the question is do i need to get a scm certification to be able to work as a supply chain manager or i can apply with my MBA as there is a scm module in it? |

Hi All, I just found this thread and it is very interesting to read. I am an engineering graduate and I was looking at how to further my career. I decided to follow the CIPS UK route and have spent some time exploring the options. I went to the CIPS website (www.cips.org) and saw that there are only 2 official registered centres. I spoke to CIPS and they advised that I register with one of the official centres as they are more likely to have the proper materials and have their pass rates monitored. By the way, the passrates here in Nigeria are low, averaging around 20 or 30% from what i understand. This must be due to the lack of proper centres here in Nigeria for all the people looking to study. Anyway, I have done some research and wanted to share with you all since this thread is so detailed. Out of the two centres, I have decided to go with Harley Reed. These are my reasons why: 1. They have a lot of experience and they have been doing the course for a number of years from their offices in the UK, Ghana and South Africa. They recently opened in Abuja and will also deliver the CIPS courses in Lagos and Port Harcourt depending on demand 2. They have pass rates of 100% over the past 2 years for all students who have studied with them 3. They have an interactive learning product which is provided on CD to students so you can study at home on your computer through recorded lectures 4. They have proper matierlas, including the official CIPS books 5. Their team includes CIPS examiners from the UK who are able to support students. Anyway, i think that everyone should do their research, but I hope my information helps. If anyone else has any ideas let me know. The useful websites are: www.cips.irg www.harleyreed.com and you can contact their Nigerian team on cipsng@harleyreed.com |

My NL people, The quiteness on this thread has become a cause for concern,i hope we still have logistics/SCM professional in the house?,I want to believe that the low patronage here can be related to high-level preparations for May exams.

Re: Logistics Or Supply Chain Management by abinibi: 11:53am On May 04, 2010 |
@ Poster, Its interesting to know that SCM is gaining grounds amongst young people in Nigeria but my experience with acclaimed proffesionals has shown that they have not placed much effort in propagating the knowledge of supply chain and logistics especially in our universities and within the industry ,your posts clearly shows that there has not been adequate publicity on SCM and Logistics profession. To answer your questions properly,it would be proper to know ur background and your career plans as you need to put all this into perspective when making this decisions.I do not really think its all about the certification but seeing how SCM connects with your career goal and evaluating its long term benefit. Cheers. |

Hi, I was happy to find this thread,I have a B.eng in production engineering and I have worked 2yrs in a bank I have decided to pursue my dream of having a career in procurement I was about to start the CIPS when I heard about SPSM its senior professional in supply management.I seriously need advice on which one is a better certification to pursue in terms of which is more student friendly,quality and which would our nigerian firms prefer.I would appreciate ur respond. |
Re: Logistics Or Supply Chain Management by abinibi: 8:56pm On May 14, 2010 |
I have checked SPSM website and the SPSM acronym in full reads SENIOR PROFESSIONAL IN SUPPLY MANAGEMENT. The curriculum shows emphasis on purchasing,contracts,negotiation and tools.Also, SPSM started in 2004 with footprints only in United States so far. If you are an entrant in purchasing you wont start with SPSM,there are choices of global certification but the only global certification in purchasing presently administered in Nigeria is CIPS ,its the de-facto and a global certification program. CIPS certification program is broad and goes beyond purchasing,from experience I have seen that once you are done with CIPS qualification,the next level is MBA as CIPS program is sufficient for the development of a well rounded professional. Our industry landscape in Nigeria reflects the domination of the UK companies in Nigerian industrial space ,just name it manufacturing,maritime and O & G etc,if you want to invest on a certification that would pay back and get recognition in Nigeria and even beyond,please proceed with your CIPS. |
Re: Logistics Or Supply Chain Management by trackervi: 10:20pm On May 14, 2010 |
Thank u abinibi,I really appreciate ur taking out time to respond.cheers |

Jonathan cites greed as bane of Nigeria’s underdevelopment [/quote]President Goodluck Jonathan yesterday emphasised the need for ministers and other public officers to join hands with the Federal Government in tackling corruption in the award and execution of all government contracts. Its the way to go Mr President and I hope it is not another lip service to the much desired public procurement policy reform,all we need is a reform on that lame procurement act,we need some ethics & fairness perspective to this bill and that would go a long way to make EFCC job a little bit easier,the bill seems too simplistic and not strategic in approach to a national public procurement policy. |

Gauteng to act on supply chain corruption The premier of Gauteng, the wealthiest province in South Africa, has announced a summit involving all sectors of society aimed at addressing corruption in the supply chain. Just to compare approaches to procurement and corruption issues with our contemporary as a benchmark for dealing with public procurement. Seems the two countries are having similar problems but I would want to observe that a province in SA is taking a leadership role in solving the problem while in Nigeria the approach is more centralized through BPP(Bureau of public procurement). The question I would like to ask is the effectiveness of the centralized approach because it only reminds me of NEPA/PHCN inefficiencies where it only serves as a bottleneck in the power supply framework of the country. |
