Ngelale further stated that Gbeleyi is also an alumnus of executive programmes of the prestigious London Business School, Harvard Kennedy School of Government, and Lagos Business School.
He said the new BPE boss has over 30 years of post-qualification experience in diverse sectors, including manufacturing, fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG), investment & commercial banking, project finance, telecommunications, infrastructure, and public administration.
Gbeleyi’s appointment followed the sacking of Mamman Ahmadu, the director general of the Bureau of Public Procurement (BPP), by the president.
President Tinubu had ordered the immediate resignation of Ahmadu as the DG of the BPP, citing overhauled reorganisation of the agency.
Amadu was appointed by the immediate past President Muhammadu Buhari, in September 2016.
