Contrary to insinuations that the Imo State government has dumped the Treasury Single Account (TSA), the Governor has reiterated that there is no controversy over the adoption of the TSA.
Executive Governor of Imo State, Senator Hope Uzodinma had on assumption of office warned that all funds meant for the state must be domiciled in TSA.
He said in a statement on Tuesday by his Chief Press Secretary/Media Adviser, Oguwike Nwachuku, that Imo people should ignore such insinuations as there is no truth in them.
On the contrary, Governor Uzodinma’s directive on TSA is being complied fully by all heads of Ministries, Departments and Agencies of government in the state.
Nwachuku said the explanation had become 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.”
“Governor Uzodinma’s administration is not only committed to due process and accountable governance, but determined to use all the resources meant for Imo people to work for them.
“He frowns on mismanagement of scarce state resources by the past administrations and is 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 his watch,.” Nwachuku explained.
