Governor Dikko Radda has ordered all of the Katsina State Government’s ministries, departments, and agencies to immediately adopt the Treasury Single Account (TSA) for all of their transactions.
In a circular headed “Treasury Single Account Direction Notice 2023,” dated July 3, 2023, and bearing his signature, the governor issued the directive.
Additionally, Governor Dikko gave the state’s accountant general instructions to lay down the guidelines for how ministries, departments, and agencies are to carry out their bank and cash transactions in accordance with the TSA.
“The Commissioner for Finance, Accountant General and the Auditor General shall ensure compliance to this direction,” he stated.
The governor’s chief press secretary, Ibrahim Mohammed, stated that the governor issued the instruction as part of his exercise of the authority granted to him by Section 5(2) of the Nigerian Constitution.
According to the governor,
“Without prejudice to Section 120 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 (as amended), all revenues and monies accruing and forming the Consolidated Revenue Fund, including funds from Excess Crude Account, grants or donation for Katsina State, shall be paid into a unified account to be referred to as Treasury Single Account out of which all expenditure incurred or approved to be incurred shall be defrayed or paid”.
