THE EFFECT OF TREASURY SINGLES ACCOUNT ON NIGERIA PUBLIC SECTOR IN NIGERIA

CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

BACKGROUND TO THE STUDY

With the return to democratic rule in 1999, Nigeria committed to leaving behindIts 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.

According to Onyekpere (2015), A Treasury Single Account is a unified structure of government bank accounts enabling consolidation and optimal utilization of government cash resources. It is a bank account or a set of linked bank accounts through which the government transacts all its receipts and payments and gets a consolidated view of its cash position at any given time. The adoption of a Treasury Single Account (TSA) by the federal and some state governments was introduced as an aim to uncover loopholes in the Nigerian Financial System.

Over the years the shallowness and weakness of Nigeria’s financial sector has limited the country’s growth potential. This became particularly evident after 1999, with the beginning of the economic reform process and the
