No fewer than 600 Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) of the Federal Government have complied with the directive to deposit remittances into the Treasury Single Account (TSA), Mr Ahmed Idris, the Accountant-General of the Federation (AGF) has said.
Speaking on the sidelines of the Federation Account Allocation Committee (FAAC) meeting in Abuja on Tuesday, he said that the exact number of MDAs that had enrolled could not be ascertained yet, the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports.
"As at today, I can tell you about 600 out of about 900 MDAs have keyed in.
"For the number of accounts I cannot categorically tell you because even the MDAs and indeed the Federal Government never knew the number of accounts.
"However the accounts are going on to the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and I believe very soon a position will be made available on the number of accounts that have been swept up’’, he said.
He said that the aim of the policy was not to disrupt the operations of the MDAs but to help them and the government run better.
