There is no controversy over the adoption of Treasury Single Account (TSA) in Imo State, says the state government.
The Imo State governor, Senator Hope Uzodinma, had on assumption of office, warned that all funds meant for the state must be domiciled in TSA.
Recall that Uzodinma’s directive to that effect is being complied fully by all heads of Ministries, Departments and Agencies of government in the state.
In a statement by Mr. Oguwike Nwachuku, the Chief Press Secretary/Media Adviser to the Governor, Uzodinma said that the
explanation was necessary following insinuation in some quarters as orchestrated by a few ragtag local publications and social media loafers that the state government has abandoned the TSA.
Uzodinma, however, pointed out that his administration was not only committed to due process and accountable governance, but determined to use its resources to work for the people.
He condemned the mismanagement of scarce state resources by the past administrations and disclosed that he was putting in place mechanisms to achieve commendable accountability in office.
“Governor Uzodinma will not be party to any attitude that promotes financial malfeasance in Imo under my watch,” he said.
