Pres Jonathan had already ordered all MDAS to close down all accounts and make all transactions with the Single TSA with the Federal govt far back in January so I don't get what's the big deal about it. Buhari probably got it from GEJ'S Handover notes.
The decision of GEJ then was well reported in the news then, it even made Nairaland's front page. Here's a punch report on it from January
The Federal Government on Tuesday directed all its Ministries, Departments and Agencies to close their revenue accounts with Deposit Money Banks latest by February 28.

The government gave the directive while unveiling an electronic revenue collection platform aimed at checking theft, diversion of collected revenue and all sorts of corrupt practices associated with revenue collection.

The balances in the revenue accounts, it said, should be transferred to the Consolidated Revenue Fund of the Federal Government.

It warned that any MDA that failed to comply with the directive by the end of February would be appropriately sanctioned.

The Accountant-General of the Federation, Mr. Jonah Otunla, disclosed these in Abuja at a workshop to sensitise the MDAs to the commencement of the electronic revenue collection project.

The implementation of the project, he stated, began on January 1 this year and that it was meant to enthrone a new regime of centralised, transparent and accountable internally generated revenue management system.

The House of Representatives had in an investigative report on unremitted revenue last year said that 60 revenue generating agencies of the Federal Government failed to remit over N9.4tn to the coffers of the government between 2009 and 2012.

The Chairman, House Committee on Finance, Abulmumin Jibrin, had said of the N3.06tn the agencies generated in 2009, only N46.8bn, or 1.53 per cent was remitted to the government.

In 2010, the sum of N3.07tn was generated, but N54.1bn or 1.76 per cent was remitted; and in 2011, the generated figure stood at N3.17tn, out of which only N73.8bn or 2.33 per cent was remitted.

Otunla said going forward, the new platform would improve the availability of funds for financing of developmental projects and budgets as well as plugging loopholes in government revenue collection and management.

He said the commencement of the e-collection platform was a product of series of treasury reforms that began in 2012 and aimed at ensuring transparency and accountability in the management of the nation’s resources.

The reforms, he stated, led to the introduction of the Government Integrated Financial Management Information System and the Treasury Single Account.

Otunla said, “We have rolled out the GIFMIS and TSA implementation. At inception, a total of 93 agencies were enrolled and as of today, we have about 551, which is about three quarter of the total budget of the federation.

“We have yet to realise the full potential of the reforms. Some big budget MDAs to wit the National Assembly, National Judicial Council, the armed forces and some other autonomous agencies have been reluctant to be brought into the GIFMIS and TSA process.

“The implication of this is that substantial cash resources of the government are still lying idle at a time when our cash flow is facing a lot of challenges. In the face of the cash flow problem, we need to be more creative. We can enhance the performance of the budget by either improving revenue or reducing costs.”

The accountant-general added, “Our efforts this morning on the e-collection of revenue is a revenue enhancing programme by freeing more funds for budget performance. We are perfecting a system of collection. We are not perfecting a system depriving the commercial banks of income.

“So, we just want to make revenue collection a little more efficient; but in the process, it might influence the inflow to the commercial banks and that’s why the Central Bank of Nigeria is playing a pivotal role.”

Shedding more light on the new revenue collection platform, the Director, Funds, Office of the Accountant-General of the Federation, Mr. Mohammed Dikwa, said, henceforth, government revenues would now be paid into the CRF/TSA at the central bank through any branch of the DMBs.

He said, “A treasury circular on e-collection will be issued next week. With the coming of e- collection, MDAs can no longer maintain revenue bank accounts with commercial banks. You are, therefore, advised to transfer any outstanding balance in your RBA to the CRF and immediately commence the processes of closing them.

“The MDAs are given up to February 28, 2015 to close the RBAs. Appropriate sanctions shall be applied against any MDA that fails to comply.”

To ensure the successful implementation of the project, Dikwa explained that a multi-stakeholder committee comprising the OAGF, CBN and representatives of all the commercial banks was set up to agree on the implementation plans and timelines.

Here is the Nairaland front page thread on it back in January

So Buhari only just re-issued an order already issued by GEJ
Cc lalasticlala

well.. be ready to receive some bullets from the buharists. this buharists are just trying to mystify buhari. this was what Jonathan was doing blocking the avenues that might lead to corruption but APC and the buharists where screaming jail jail. am still waiting for the first person buhari would jail

Can the fawning Sai Buhari adulators now realise their Messiah hasn't done anything groundbreaking, enough with the unnecessary propaganda already.

ka

Haha, , tell that to the propagandists...
Lalasticlala do the needful

And what happened with this directive till he handed over govt?
You TANoids just hate progress.
Some of you are arguing that same order was given by NOI in 2013, how come the MDAs never obeyed the orders?
Op, governance is a continuous process we know but the past administration only gave orders that were flaunted and disregarded.
Watch out how they will all conform with the current order soon and that will tell you the difference between the two govts and show you what is new about it all.

I may not know the difference between the two policies but if they are the same, it shows how weak the previous administration was for a president to issue an order and such instruction was not carried out accordingly despite a clear dead line.
All the same it is a welcome development.
God bless Nigeria!
God bless those who are striving to see Nigeria is back on track.
To the enemies of progress, May God grant them wisdom to repent and join the common goal fight for a better Nigeria.

Another propaganda exposed

They also gave that directive in 2012. It's not only about policies, implementation is the most important. This is what Jonathan was talking about when he was telling us about separating the yam from the goat. Nigeria's problem again is not a lack of ideas or not knowing the right thing to do, it's actually doing them is where the problem is. This TSA idea goes as far back as 2004 and I'm sure if we dig deeper, it was probably even proposed before then.

No one is expecting Buhari to invent anything new, we're just asking that good ideas start getting implemented. Buhari announcing it alone is not a cause for celebration, action is what will make me celebrate. Action we've lacked for too long in our dear country.

Are we taking of all talk and to action? He ordered, but wasn't done, just like he did in 2012 too. You all shld be ashamed of ur toothless hero...

Well, not as if a toothless hero is a new concept in ur history anyways...


We've heard abt those who promise hell and brimstone but escaped in Bianca's blouse...

I'm sure Nanmdi already don sow his own female's cloth...

The fear of Pmb, is the beginning of freedom..

ok

The problem in Nigeria has never been lack of policies or laws, but actually the political will to implement them. The huge difference between PMB and GEJ is in the will to get things done.

It is just plain mischievous when people try to attribute any positive move or achievement of this administration as a Legacy of GEJ. Yet, when there is some negative news, they are quick to attribute it as a Liability/Failure of PMB - they are quick to remind him to get on with the job and leave GEJ alone.

President Buhari is miles ahead of Jonathan in terms of ability and commitment to TRANSFORM this country.

Ok oh.

Apc please be truthful(feeding on another man past glory ... Gej my hero!.

Redoil:

Good you used 'handover notes' which implies continuation.....
PMB couldn't be stealing ideas from there but continuing the act of governance but bringing in a difference.
That's the difference between a smart leader and a failed leader

He gave the order in January but nobody obeyed him because he was a weakass Man who had no control of his House, his wife, his cabinet and the entire country.



Wait and see how many people would be in jail if by the end of this month this order has not been obeyed.



President Booboo (as he is called by his Nwa Baby Aisha) does not negotiate with terrorists and corruption.

The question for op is was there anybform of compliance

Wats d importance of dis thread?

GEJ My hero
