Nigeria: Govt rejects World Bank

AS the Federal Government embarks on an overhaul of the country's contract tendering system, the World Bank has sought to insulate ministers from compliance with its new system. The overhaul is aimed at stemming the widespread corruption that attends the country's tendering process. This was disclosed yesterday by Vice-President Atiku Abubakar, who added however that the World Bank report has been rejected by the government.
