Description
ABSTRACT
This research work intends to explore an appraisal of purchasing function in the public sector in Imo State (Ministry of Agriculture and Natural Resources). I deemed it necessary since this research topic is unique to public sector in Imo state. An environmental practice research was carried out in ministry of agriculture and Natural Resources which was used to generalize the project objective. This research work cannot be said, to be exhaustive due to changing nature of public sector and is not designed to replace other view or subsequent research on these study objectives but has gone a long way in highlighting the ways to the much advocated efficient purchasing practices and techniques which has eluded our society.
