What is TSA in Nigeria?
Treasury Single Account (TSA) also known as Treasury single account is a financial policy in use in several countries all over the world. It is a policy where all government funds are collected in one account.
Treasury Single Account (TSA) was introduced in Nigeria in 2012. The federal government of Nigeria under the Jonathan Administration in 2012 designed, proposed and partially implemented Treasury Single Account (TSA) and almost fully implemented by the Buhari Administration.
As at the time of this post, there are still Federal Government agencies in Nigeria that have not fully migrated to Nigerian federal government Treasury Single Account (TSA). E.g Offshore Safety Permit fees under Department of Petroleum Resources (DPR) still go to separate bank account.
