The Katsina State Government has concluded all arrangements to commence the implementation of the Single Treasury Account (TSA).
This will precede the test run of the Treasury Single Account (TSA), in the state civil service as from the 15th of February 2024.
Chairman of the TSA Implementation Committee, Alhaji Isyaku Muhammed revealed this to newsmen at the Katsina State Government House, on Wednesday.
According to Alhaji Muhammad, the full implementation of the TSA in Katsina would however be kick started after a test trial. “Henceforth, all funds meant for the state would be paid directly into the TSA,” he said.
The Implementation Committee Chairman, who is also the Executive Chairman of the Katsina State Board of Internal Revenue, said a leading Bank in the country has been selected to take charge of the TSA host account.
He said: “We shall be using the media to adequately sensitize members of the public on the advantages of the TSA.
“Our Committee has equally visited Kano and Kaduna states to examine how they are operating the TSA and the problems encountered, so as to come up with the best TSA system in Katsina”.
Alh. Isiyaku maintained that the delay to implement TSA in Katsina last month was as a result of the careful procedure adopted to ensure salaries and other businesses of the governance are not tempered with.
