In today’s fast-changing and febrile global economy, procurement and supply chain professionals occupy a critical role at the intersection of geopolitics, pricing, risk, and sustainability. Their expertise is increasingly essential in guiding organizations through complex, volatile environments, positioning Chief Procurement Officers as the business leaders of the future.
Recognizing the importance of visionary leadership in this space, the Chartered Institute of Procurement & Supply (CIPS) has named Dr. Adebowale Adedokun, FCIPS, Director General of the Bureau of Public Procurement (BPP), Nigeria, as one of its 2025 Procurement Pioneers.

This annual programme highlights 15 forward-thinking professionals who are shaping the future of procurement and supply chain management through innovation, strategic insight, and exemplary practice.
As a Procurement Pioneer, Dr. Adedokun joins a selected group of leaders whose knowledge and vision will be shared with the CIPS community through articles, podcasts, and events over the coming year. These ambassadors of change are redefining the profession, advancing its influence, and demonstrating how procurement and supply chain leadership is central to organizational success in an increasingly volatile global economy.
