Ambode approves treasury single account for all Lagos transactions.

A treasury single account (TSA) will improve the processes of revenue generation and collection in the state and ensure proper accountability and transparency in all Government accrued revenues, a statement by the media aide to the governor, Habib Aruna stated.
According to Permanent Secretary/Accountant General of the State, Mrs Abimbola Umar, the State Government took the decision to address the challenges previously faced with the operation of the multiple account system.
Governor Ambode said the operation of a Treasury Single Account (TSA) aside providing transparency and accountability will also encourage tax payers to request for a single account before making their payments.
Therefore all revenue collecting banks have been mandated to immediately close all the existing multiple revenue accounts domiciled in their banks to give room for a single revenue accounting system in line with the Accountability and Transparency Policy of the current administration.
“With this development, it is expected that all parastatals, local governments and establishments will commence the operation of the TSA on September 1, 2015”, the Governor said.
