It is applicable mostly to capital projects. • e.g. Construction / Maintenance / Renovation of Public Utilities, Supply and Installation of Equipment etc.
Our Products: No. 2 • PPA NO-OBJECTION • A type of clearance issued which enables an MDA to proceed to other stages in the procurement process. • It can also be issued as a clearance for an existing project which is executed in phases. e.g. continuation of Mile 2-Badagry Express road. • PPA NO-Objection can also be issued to MDAs that have the competence and capability to carry out Direct Labour due availability of relevant equipment and personnel.

A guideline/checklist has been prepared and this is expected to be completed and submitted along with the requests. This will come out as circular soon.
