AN APPLICATION OF DUE PROCESS IN EXISTING PROCUREMENT METHODS IN NIGERIA
ABSTRACT
This study examines Due Process Application in the procurement of building projects in Nigeria. It provides a brief overview of the implementation of due process in the Nigerian public sector, notably in the construction industry.
This study goes on to illustrate the benefits of implementing and enforcing due process on building projects. This was accomplished through interviews and the distribution of questionnaires aimed at increasing project participants’ awareness/understanding of the notion of due process in Nigeria’s construction industry.
This research also investigated the efficiency of the application of due process procedures in the procurement of building projects since its implementation. It also claims that the ‘application or non-application’ of a due process technique or mechanism influences project delivery.
Finally, this study suggests that due process procedures be closely followed and extended to other levels of government, specifically the state and local governments. This would fully capitalise on the gains realised in the procurement of public-sector construction projects.

INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background of the Study
The construction industry’s activities include the acquisition of goods and services, as well as the construction of various physical structures and infrastructure (Ayangade, Wahab, and Alake 2009), which employs a range of procurement methods.
The construction industry’s activities have helped to contribute to GDP, gross fixed capital development, and the creation of a high level of employment for changing professions (Wahab, 2005).
In industrialised countries, the building sector accounts for up to 22.00% of GDP and employs up to 12.00% of the entire labour force, but in Nigeria, it accounts for 16.00% of GDP and employs up to 20.00% of the labour force (Akindoyeni, 2004).
The construction industry has numerous characteristics that distinguish it from other process sectors and emphasise the importance of professional engagement.
The country has employed a variety of strategies to procure buildings and other infrastructural facilities. One of the modifications and new trends influencing the country’s procurement system is the rising fragmentation of building stages (Bamisile, 2004).
Until 1999, Nigeria had essentially institutionalised corruption as the basis for governance.
As a result, institutions of society disintegrated to unprecedented proportions as the powerful privatised possibilities. This approach was accompanied, as one might assume, by judicial intimidation, subversion of due process, manipulation of existing rules and regulations, suffocation of civil society, and containment of democratic principles and institutions.
Power became nothing more than a tool for accumulation and subversion as constructive endeavours were replaced by simply administrative and transactional operations.
The legitimacy and stability of the state were jeopardised as citizens devised extralegal and informal means of survival. All of these created opportunities for corruption. (BPP website).
