Government Agencies Face Presidential Anger For Failure To Comply With Directive On Single Account

President Muhammadu Buhari is angry with some Ministries, Department and Agencies of the Federal Government which are yet to comply with Circular directing them to pay all Federal Government revenue into a Treasury Single Account.
The original directive was issued on August via the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation with reference number HCSF/428/S.1/120 of August 7, 2015.
The President has therefore set a deadline of Tuesday, September 15, for full compliance with his earlier directive that all revenue due to the Federal Government or any of its agencies must be paid into the Treasury Single Account (TSA) or designated accounts maintained and operated in the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), except otherwise expressly approved.
A circular issued today to all the MDs by the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, Mr. Danladi Kifasi urged the MDAs to ensure strict compliance with the deadline to avoid sanctions.
“In this regard, His Excellency, Mr. President has directed that all MDAs are to comply with the instructions on the Treasury Single Account (TSA) unfailingly by Tuesday, September 15, 2015.
“Heads of MDAs and other arms of Government are enjoined to give this Circular the widest circulation and ensure strict compliance to avoid sanctions.” [myad]
