President Bola Tinubu has directed Mr. Mamman Ahmadu to resign from his position as the Director-General/Chief Executive Officer of the Bureau of Public Procurement (BPP).
This announcement was made in a statement by presidential spokesman Chief Ajuri Ngelale on Saturday.
The statement noted that this move is part of a broader effort to reorganize the public procurement system to enhance efficiency and transparency.
It also mentioned that Ahmadu is to hand over to the most senior officer in the Bureau until a new Director-General is appointed.
President Tinubu expressed gratitude to Ahmadu for his service and wished him success in his future endeavors.
In the same statement, President Tinubu approved the appointment of Mr. Ayodeji Ariyo Gbeleyi as the new Director-General of the BPP.
Gbeleyi is a highly respected financial expert and an award-winning chartered accountant, holding fellowships with both the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria (ICAN) and the Chartered Institute of Taxation of Nigeria (CITN).
He has also completed executive programs at the London Business School, Harvard Kennedy School of Government, and Lagos Business School.
Gbeleyi brings over 30 years of post-qualification experience in various sectors, including manufacturing, fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG), investment and commercial banking, project finance, telecommunications, infrastructure, and public administration.
He has previously served as the Board Chairman of the Federal Mortgage Bank of Nigeria (FMBN) and was the Commissioner of Finance in Lagos State from 2013 to 2015.
The statement emphasized that President Tinubu expects Gbeleyi to utilize his extensive experience and skills to strengthen the BPP.
The President anticipates that Gbeleyi will transform the agency into a national resource center for capacity building and reform, promoting a competitive private sector-driven economy, ensuring social accountability, efficiently deploying public resources, and advancing effective corporate governance and fiduciary discipline in both the public and private sectors.
