Bureau Objectives

• To ensure that project packaging and implementation match the defined priorities and targets as set out in annual appropriation laws of the State;


• To prevent extra budgetary spending by Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) in the State by ensuring that only projects contained in the Approved Budget or supported by appropriate Financial Warrants are executed;


• To ensure value-for-money in the implementation of projects, procurements or service and to prevent contract inflation by ensuring cost reasonableness, accuracy and comparability of all public contracts with national, regional and global costs.
