A statement in Abuja by Mr Ndu Ughamadu, NNPC Group General Manager, Group Public Affairs Division, said the bidding was conducted in the presence of representatives of the bidding companies and Civil Society Organizations (CSOs).

The Group General Manager, Information and Technology Division, Mr Danladi Inuwa, represented by General Manager Applications, Mr Kunle Osobu, said the exercise was geared towards having electronic copies of all NNPC documents in line with global best practices.

”I am happy that there is much show of interest in this process.

”The process is going to be transparent from the beginning to the end and we want the best yield in terms of value addition and best services and this was why the bid tender was extended to 12 weeks,” Inuwa said.

The General Manager, Supply Chain Management, Mrs Sophia Mbakwe, said NNPC, through the exercise, sought to engage the services of reputable organisations that would digitise the legacy documents of the corporation.

Mbakwe assured that the process would be transparent.

The public opening of bid is part of the corporation’s avowed commitment to transparency to re-position as a focused, accountable, competitive and a transparent organisation conducting its business with integrity.
