Abia state government determined to enforce the Treasury Single Account policy put in place by Governor Alex Otti in 2023, has directed all Ministries, Department, and Agencies (MDAs) and Institutions in the state to present their Treasury Single Account clearance papers to qualify for payment of any type of Voucher.

This was made known by the state Accountant General, Dr.Njum Onyemenam, during a workshop her office organized in collaboration with the Abia State Board of Internal Revenue held at Michael Okpara Auditorium Umuahia over the weekend.

She advised Heads of Accounts of the MDAs and government Institutions to key into the TSA and the consolidated Revenue collection system for their interest, adding that henceforth non-compliance will attract withholding of payment of their vouchers by the state government.

The Accountant General said that the TSA was designed to bring all government revenues into one account for transparency, adding that by keying into the system the MDAs and Institutions will have access to the central system for the funding of their expenditures.

In his remarks during the workshop, the Chairman of the Abia State Board of Internal Revenue, professor Udochukwu Ogbonna, said that every payment into the Abia state account must be made through TSA using a bank card, POS, Tellers, and Mobile App.

In his contribution, one of the resource persons during the workshop, Emma Alozie, advised all government employees and other individuals to obtain the Abia state Social Identity Number (ABSSIN) for their transactions and security reasons.
