The Ogun State Government has appointed Mrs. Feyisara Bolarinwa-Adebowale as the new Director-General of the Bureau of Public Procurement.

She takes over from the late Dr. Adesina Olanloye.

According to a statement signed by the State Head of Service, Mr. Kehinde Onasanya, the appointment of the new Director-General is in line with the extant Procurement Law (as amended).

The HoS noted that Mrs. Bolarinwa-Adebowale emerged through a competitive and merit-based process, which involved the shortlisting and interviewing of suitably qualified candidates who had successfully completed the Executive Training Validation and Development Programme (ETVDP) within the management cadre of the Ogun State Civil/Public Service.

The new DG also met the prescribed competencies, skills, and knowledge required for the position of Director-General of the Bureau of Public Procurement.

Bolarinwa-Adebowale, a seasoned lawyer, was born on 22 May 1978 in Ibadan, Oyo State. She joined the Civil Service as a State Counsel in December 2005. She attended Anglican Girls' Grammar School, Ijebu-Ode, earned her LL.B. at Ogun State University (now Olabisi Onabanjo University), and trained at the Nigerian Law School, Lagos Campus.

Before her latest appointment, she served as Deputy Director of Civil Litigation in the Ministry of Justice and was later seconded to the Bureau of Public Procurement as a Legal Officer.

The Head of Service described her elevation as part of Prince Dapo Abiodun's government’s efforts to strengthen due process and accountability in public contracting by ensuring that procurement policies are imbibed and implemented in line with international best practices and within the framework of government bureaucratic procedures.

Mr. Onasanya, while congratulating her on the appointment, charged her to discharge her duties with the utmost sense of responsibility and in line with the laws guiding her new role.

The incident, which unfolded on Monday in Birnin Kebbi, has exposed the underhanded tactics of Malami and Koko, revealing a sordid pact rooted in political desperation and criminal collusion. According to multiple sources, Malami and Koko, both recent defectors from the APC to the ADC, conspired to unleash chaos in Kebbi State to bolster their fledgling political relevance.
