This position made this paper used of published data on the extent of implementation and compliance with the Nigerian reforms regulations and those of other developing and developed countries as a basis for sketch conclusion that there has been some significant development on the consciousness of the existence of the public procurement law. The paper identified factors such as media publicity; forecast, organizational, society an political interference amongst others contributes both positively and negatively to the public procurement realization and fulfillment. The need to shield the procurement decisions from political interference and the setting up of the National Council on Public Procurement so as to permit it discharged its legitimate roles against the current trend where the Federal Executive Council and other governmental bodies performing it role are among some of the recommendations proffered by the paper if a successful realization and fulfillment with the Nigerian Public Procurement reforms will be realized.
