Indications have emerged debunking recent media reports that former President Goodluck Jonathan was responsible for signing the contract with SystemSpecs, the owners of Remita software, which is currently being used for the implementation of President Muhammadu Buhari’s proposed Treasury Single Account (TSA)

The media reports comes on the heels of revelations that at least N25 billion have been paid to SystemSpecs, amounting to 1% of all monies remitted to the TSA.

According to investigations by the Hope For Nigeria group, Mallam Umar Sani, the former Senior Special Adviser to former Vice President Namadi Sambo availed that the immediate past government never signed any agreement with SystemSpec.

He said: “The government as at that time began the implementation of TSA through the Government Integrated Financial Management Information System (GIFMIS), a World Bank assisted Project domiciled in the Office of the Accountant General of the Federation and it is through GIFMIS that all government Budget (Personnel, Overhead, Capital, Transfers etc) transactions are carried out, so why do they need Remitta?

“I can categorically tell you that it is the new Accountant General, Mallam Ahmed Idris, that put forward the Remitta proposal, but some other Directors led by the Director, Funds (Dikwa) vehemently opposed it on the grounds that government cannot have more than one payment platform and instead of using Remita to implement TSA, GIFMIS should be used”.

Also speaking on the issue, an official at the Federal Ministry of Finance who spoke on the condition of anonymity said that the “outrageous” agreement with SystemSpec on the use of REMITA software as a payment platform has nothing to do former President Goodluck Jonathan, as they did not sign any agreement.

Also speaking to the group on Friday, November 13, 2015, an official of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) availed that the apex bank has its own bespoke software for e-Payments and e-Collections, adding that there is no need for the use of REMITA.

Why is it so difficult for a staggering bubu to tell Nigerians the simple truth on pressing and controversial matters? APC is the scammest government ever in Nigeria

Seen....notify me whn it hits fp

And the truth, they say, will set you free.

God will help us as a Nation!

thetrentonline newspaper!!! What political party owns this newspaper again?

APC. ... lying since d days of Abraham Lincoln

Lalasticlala I just dey pass na im I say make i greet you...Good afternoon... No be because of front page ooo, hmmmm na greet I just dey greet.

But this matter wey I post na serious matter na...abi is it not front page worthy?

End time

I think its very deceptive and wicked(then again,that's what APC is made of) for the APC to falsely lie against GEJ when it was their government that signed this wicked and mailious deal.
...Then again,am not a bit surprised. More of the qualities of the APC will continue to unfold

The news lacks authenticity

Mallam Ahmed ideas should be sacked...#0 tolerance for corruption.

APC had misfired.

Thanks. What happens if you take this kind of news to the bank??

Again my point; GEJ introduced TSA to fight corruption and operated it through Government Integrated Financial Management Information System (GIFMIS), a World Bank assisted Project domiciled in the Office of the Accountant General of the Federation; This government came and saw avenue to utilize it to corruptly enrich themselves and contracted it to REMITTA?
So Nigerians please tell me who is fighting or promoting corruption?

PROPAGANDA AND LIES WILL TARRY A WHILE AND WANE BUT TRUTH SHALL ALWAYS STAND GIDIGBAA AND UNCHANGED.

I knew it must be from thetrent of breakingtimes. We haven't even forgotten before this needless controversy stirred by Melaye and Saraki, all Wailers gave Jonathan credit for the TSA, even the Chief Wailer created a thread to that effect, same way they did the working refineries and Kachikwu. Now they say it is Buhari's brainchild!! These guys are simply full if shiit.

And how does one even sign an agreement with a "software" (remita) Just like signing an agreement with Android or Windows. That's to show you what a useless blog TheTrent is.

I get so irritated by fools.

TIME END

Exactly. His enemies keep fighting him and end up fighting themselves.

op this your source na waya. why don't you quote one of the mainstream media like vanguard.

anybody can write anything on any blog.

keep distracting the man with your tomfoolery, after 4years na you go talk say in no do anything.

Even if GEJ approved Remita, why continue using it and at the same time accusing GEJ's administration of stealing?.

May be I was in a big dream when I saw a big billboard saying "CHANGE".
