Portugal has taken a notable step here. Parliament approved ending prior Court of Auditors checks for public contracts up to €7.5m, and the source says the reform should advance.

In Nigeria, a route change is putting a flagship corridor back under the microscope. The decision to reroute sections of the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway through the existing East-West Road has renewed questions about project planning and procurement. When alignment changes, suppliers have to ask the obvious questions. Does scope shift? Does sequencing change? Do earlier assumptions still hold?
