He equally admonished the Council Chairmen on the need to comply fully with the procurement law in all their procurements.

He also advised that a retreat should be organized for the enlightenment of relevant categories of officials of the Councils on issues concerning financial management which should have the active participation of the Independent Corrupt Practices Commission (ICPC).
