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.

ogahug:


TSA was launched by GEJ in January, 2015 . TSA required BVN for full implementation. It was the same GEJ that initiated BVN policy that was needed for TSA full implementation. Though Buhari tried to acknowledge GEJ; he yet ended up discrediting him. Let's leave this blame game. You've not created any program for yourself ; yet you keep blaming him that created a blue print for you. Let's not be economical with the truth.

TSA, the movement of Federal Government funds into the CBN was directed by President Muhammadu Buhari on assumption of office.

System Specs, in a letter to the President, signed by its Managing Director, John Obaro, said the contract for the refund of the money by the commercial banks to the CBN was signed in 2011.

Former President, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan, endorsed the contract while the Emir of Kano, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi was then the Governor of the CBN.

System Specs, in the letter to Buhari, said the N25 billion profit it was alleged to have made from the 1 per cent processing fee approved for it was actually shared by the company, the CBN and banks involved in the refund of the money.


It said based on an agreement, the processing fee was shared among itself, the affected banks and the CBN in ratios of .5 %, .4% and .1% respectively.

It said instead of the N8 billion, which the incumbent Governor of the CBN, Godwin Emiefile, said got to it, the company only received N3 billion.

The letter by Obaro to Buhari reads further: “Your Excellency, we are aware that you must have heard series of reports around the 1% processing fees chargeable on e-Collections of Government receipts. We will like to provide some background on these issues sir.

“System Specs was engaged to provide the Payment Gateway for TSA in 2011. While the payment leg of TSA commenced in January 2012, the collection component did not start as scheduled due to the resistance from a number of quarters and the absence of the political will to push this through.

“In 2013, CBN and OAGF setup a multi-stakeholder implementation committee and organised a joint seminar with key stakeholders, including banks, to agree formalities for commencement of e-collection.

“The Banks proposed a fee of 5% to compensate for the fact that they would no longer keep float.

“The implementation committee however recommended 2.5% after negotiation with the banks.

“The then AGF later approved 1% as processing fee, which was in turn communicated to all the stakeholders through CBN in December 2013. Subsequently, we executed a contract with CBN and other stakeholders involved on the provision of services to support TSA.

“Based on the increased scope of the TSA project, following your directive in August 2015 for all MDAs to join the scheme, we had highlighted the need for a stakeholder meeting to discuss the TSA e-collection fees. This was communicated to both CBN and OAGF.

“Instead of an invitation for a stakeholders meeting as requested, we received a directive from the CBN Governor to refund all TSA e-collection fees earned to date and to suspend all charges on the platform.

“System Specs has since complied fully with this directive and refunded all monies earned to date to CBN. This we did in good faith and without prejudice to avoid distractions that could becloud the bigger potential of the TSA project for our country.

“While we await clarification from OAGF/CBN on the way forward, we have since suspended all TSA e collection fees on the platform. This means that none of the TSA collection parties/channels are earning any fees for providing services to Government.

“This position is however not sustainable as the collection partner banks are threatening to suspend FGN TSA collections. This would clearly be playing into the hands of those who do not wish this initiative to succeed.

“We understand the strategic importance of the TSA project to this administration and the country at large. We have demonstrated good faith and continued commitment to the project in the last four years to deliver on our mandate.

“We will continue to do all within our power to bring the project to full term.

“Your Excellency, we would appreciate your kind and urgent intervention to ensure a speedy resolution of this matter before the banks stop collections.”

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.

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?

Pidggin:
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.

Pidggin:


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?

I believe GEJ had a lot to offer BUT...............

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.

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.”

"We have tried to impose what we call Treasury Single Account. The reason is simple. This government did not initiate it, it was initiated by the previous government. But it was so unpopular to the bureaucracy, so the previous government for its own reasons, could not impose it.

“But when we came and we found out that we were broke, we said this is the way to do it.

“I will tell you two examples to convince you. Firstly, the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation had more than 45 accounts. Ministry of Defence had more than 70 accounts. Tell me which Accountant-General can trace all these accounts?

“So, we imposed TSA. By the end of December, coming to January 2016, we mopped up more than N2.2trn which would have been used through bureaucratic system to raise vouchers and sign cheques so that they don’t go into the next budget.”

As to the boldened, it is not true, TSA did not start in Jan 2015, it was since 2012 or thereabout, the problem was the political will that was lacking to enforce it. Even System specs , owners of the Remita software alluded to the fact that the political will of the government enforcing TSA was missing.


Below is the view of MD systemspecs , the admin of the REMITA software about TSA

2n2k:


Can you educate us about the relationship of BVN with TSA? Since you have been operating TSA on Remitta platform, how many times have you had to supply your BVN?

He wasn't bold enough?
