President Muhammadu Buhari has disclosed that the Treasury Single Account, TSA, was an initiative of the Goodluck Jonathan administration, but the immediate past government could not enforce it.

Buhari, who disclosed this during an interactive session with Nigerians living in the United Kingdom on the sidelines of the Supporting Syria Conference in London, stated that his administration had been able to block leakages and save N2. 2trn using the same TSA.

According to him, “When we discovered that we were already in trouble, we tried to enforce the TSA. This government did not initiate it, it was the previous government, but it was so unpopular to the previous government.

“For its own reasons, it couldn’t impose it, but when we came and we found out that we were broke, we saw that this is the way to do it.

“We discovered that the NNPC had more than 45 accounts, the ministry of defence and the military had more than 70 accounts; tell me which of the accounts to trace every year.

“So we enforced TSA, we said there must be TSA, and let me tell you by the end of December coming to January this year, last month, we mopped up more than N2.2 trillion.”

This old man and complain. Na wa

He wasn't bold enough?

Same as saying GEJ bought substandard weapons.
Gradually truth will bring out itself.

APC LIES are gradually fading.

Jonathan was scared he might loose 2015 re-election bid if he enforces TSA... His cronies were feeding fat on all the financial loopholes...

Educated,Nice and humble President with a weak heart

He had no clue why he even initiated it in the first place.

A lot that couldn't be done in six years, I see.

TSA was birth by Gej.This was a structural innovation to fight corruption.By extension subsequent administration will benefit from it.This is the sure way to fight corruption by creating strong institutions and structures and not vendettas,fighting political enemies through media corruption crusade.Ippis comes to mind.The numbers of ghost workers had reduced in federal parastatals thus saving more for the country.Gej administration were still studying the cons and pros of TSA.Bubu came on board and hijack it.Gej is meticulous in whatever he is doing thus can't implement TSA without a proper study of the process.So Baba zip it,we are yet to see your own innovations.Stop your tyrant and do the needfull.

Anyway, no excuss for FAILURE

Buhari is copying almost all GEJ's policies, taking credit for them, and still insulting him.

I wonder why he cannot come up with his own policies instead of photocopying from GEJ.

Don't mind the mull.ah. Not even bold enough to commend GEJ for the innovation instead chooses to blab thus exposing his weaknesses more.

In other news, The minister for power,works and housing admitted that GEJ govt completed more roads than any past govt. Sho...! truth is revealing itself.

Buhari Has Seen The Wisdom In
Continuing With What I Started-
Jonathan read the post at www.nairaland.com/2895854/buhari-seen-wisdom-continuing-what . Am not really surprise about this cattle rearer its the f*¤ls that support him i pity, because we all have clearly see that he is not upto the task,. God bless gej,. And please who has seen the 5k alert?

that is what we call "ineffectual...".

We should give kudos to IWEALA on this one tho they had no gut to implement it

If you have an idea and you don't know how to put it into manifestation, then it is equally as good as nothing. In a nutshell, no commendation for gej and iweala.

GEJ/NOI came up with the subsidy idea and were opposed

GEJ/NOI came up with the idea of saving the revenue from excess crude oil, they were opposed by the opposition

In Democracy, it is not about guts, but about the support you get from stakeholders.

GEJ/NOI had few supporters, also the fact that they are both from minority regions made it worse. Nigerians are 100% tribalist, it is irritating.

Buhari has the support of the North/SW, and now he is free to implement the programmes and ideas of GEJ's govt. Why the hell will he brag, insult the man and still copy his policies?

This is unfair of mr buhari. This president behaves like a child

If GEJ had wanted to enforce TSA, he would have, heavens wont fall, spare the defence sermon.
From 2013 that TSA was muted till 2015 is not few hours, days or months.
