CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
BACKGROUND TO THE STUDY
With the return to democratic rule in 1999, Nigeria committed to leaving behind Its history of economic stagnation, declining welfare and social instability. The new government started an ambitious economic reform program, outlined in the National Economic Empowerment and Development Strategy (NEEDS 2004-07), and succeeded in bringing about macroeconomic stability and the highest growth rates Nigeria has seen in decades.
Since July 2003, the Federal Government had taken bold steps to begin the tackling of the deep-seated risks to macroeconomic and fiscal stability and also to address key sources of economic inefficiency. As such, it is implementing policies to strengthen economic management and to deal with weak governance and corruption.
Earlier in February, the Central Bank of Nigeria issued a circular directing all deposit money banks to implement the Remita e-Collection Platform. The Remita e-Collection is a technology platform deployed by the Federal Government to support the collection and remittance of all government revenue to a Consolidated Account domiciled with the CBN. This marked the beginning of the full implementation of Treasury Single Account (TSA) system in Nigeria.
The word Treasury Single Account (TSA) is one of the major financial policies implemented by the federal government of Nigeria to consolidate all inflows from all the ministries, departments and agencies (MDAs) in the country by way of deposit into Commercial Banks traceable into a single account at the Apex Bank in the country, Central Bank of Nigeria.
The TSA is a process and tool for effective management of government’s finances, banking and cash position. In accordance with the name, it pools and unifies all government accounts through a single treasury account.
The Federal Government’s directive to all revenue-generating agencies to close their accounts with commercial banks by February 28, 2015 and transfer same into a Consolidated Revenue Fund of the Federation and Treasury Single Account as a new electronic revenue collecting platform introduced recently by President Muhammed Buhari has continued to generate debate across the country.
The February directive, according to reports, was due to the speculation in the banking sector that shareholders lost about N573 billion in 2014 financial year following massive sell-off that overran the market in the last two quarters of the year.
