The minister assured that the Ministry of Information and National Orientation will collaborate with BPP to propagate their new strategies and innovations through various media platforms, including the News Agency of Nigeria, Nigerian Television Authority, and Voice of Nigeria.

Adedokun stated that BPP aims to deliver timely and completed projects in various sectors, promote good governance, and ensure value for money, fairness, and accountability. He also announced plans to migrate to electronic procurement, complete all procurement processes within the first half of the year, and deploy categorization and classification of consultants, contractors, and service providers.
