Buhari orders federal ministries, agencies to open treasury single account

Press statement from the presidency...

President Muhammadu Buhari has ordered each and every Federal Government Ministry, Department or Agency to start paying into a Treasury Single Account (TSA) for all government revenues, incomes and other receipts. According to the directive, this measure is specifically to promote transparency and facilitate compliance with sections 80 and 162 of the 1999 Constitution.

Henceforth, according to a statement by Laolu Akande, the Senior Special Assistant to the Vice President on‎ Media and Publicity, all receipts due to the Federal Government or any of its agencies must be paid into TSA or designated accounts maintained and operated in the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), except otherwise expressly approved.

A TSA is a unified structure of government bank accounts enabling consolidation and optimal utilization of government cash resources. It is a bank account or a set of linked bank accounts through which the government transacts all its receipts and payments and gets a consolidated view of its cash position at any given time.

This presidential directive would end the previous public accounting situation of several fragmented accounts for government revenues, incomes and receipts, which in the recent past has meant the loss or leakages of legitimate income meant for the federation account.

It would be recalled that President Muhammadu Buhari had earlier promised state governors at the inaugural meeting of the National Economic Council, NEC, in June, that all revenues prescribed for lodgement into the federation account will be treated as such under his watch and that he will ensure strict compliance with all relevant laws on accounting, allocation and disbursement.

Since then the presidency has worked with relevant agencies of the federal government to evolve this policy directive.

This directive applies to fully funded organs of government like the Ministries, Departments, Agencies and Foreign Missions, as well as the partially funded ones, like Teaching Hospitals, Medical Centres, Federal Tertiary Institutions, etc.

Agencies like the CBN, SEC, CAC, NPA, NCC, FAAN, NCAA, NIMASA, NDIC, NSC, NNPC, FIRS, NCS, MMSD, DPR are also affected.

For any agency that is fully or partially self-funding, Sub-Accounts linked to TSA are to be maintained at CBN and the accounting system will be configured to allow them access to funds based on their approved budgetary provisions.

Pet project for Aisha Buhari is in the pipeline - Media aide says

The Director of Media in the Office of the Wife of the President, Zakari Yau Nadabo, says there are arrangements being made to launch a pet project for Mrs. Buhari but that the first step to achieve this will be to identify where she will be focusing her attention on

“It is not about initiating a pet project alone. The first step is to identify the area. The plan is already in the pipeline. Issues are just beginning to take shape. We do not want to rush. We want to take our time to do a careful analysis so that we can intervene in critical areas.”he told Punch

Mrs Buhari who says she doesn't want to be referred to as the first lady, is said to be operating from the office of the first lady in the villa where her other predecessors operated from. The office is said to be beside the official residence of the president.

Lagos mums..this is exactly how you should get a nanny, driver or housekeeper

Mums are the greatest people on Earth, because they have the immense responsibility of nurturing the future. But as a mother I know that no matter how incredible we are, sometimes it’s simply impossible to handle all the responsibilities of a home and job. 

Do you need a stress-free but highly secure and safe way of baby-sitting your kids even when you are at work, or a driver to take you to work for short periods of time or maybe a cleaner to help with cleaning when you are to busy… if so then read on..

As our way of helping the busy mums and middle class workers in Lagos, we caught up with Care ng to learn more about how they are helping women and families across Lagos find perfect nannies, get drivers on demand andprofessional cleaners with complete security guarantee

What exactly does Care ngdo?

Care ngis an organization that provides home services such as baby sitting, driving and cleaning to homes that need such services. We have over 1,000 registered nannies, over 400 licensed drivers and 550 cleaners currently we serve over 100 homes in Lagos only.

Interesting. So you focus on getting home service providers in Lagos, why? How important is this?

Going through the best process in getting a Nanny is extremely important for very obvious reasons.

1.       You cant always be there with your kid and when you’re not someone has to be there, who understands how to take care of a baby

2.       This someone MUST BE a trustable professional who has been background checked

3.       The individual must come from a professional agency that would interview each nanny to determine their babysitting skills

The same goes for drivers, imagine driving from lekki to ikejawhen you are already tired stressed out or sleepy, what if you could get a driver for just 1 day or 1 week or 1 month and then what of those tough days when housechores are non-negotiable yet you need to rest or do office work, would it be awesome if you could simply get a cleaner on demand?

Security SecuritySecurity?How can I be sure my home is safe

Because we provide services at people’s homes we take absolutely no chance at making sure our client feel secure and are indeed truly safe. Here are a few of the things we do

1.       All our service providers especially nannies are physically interviewed by us, go through compulsory medical test and most importantly go through intense background checks to ensure that we always have enough information on that

2.       All service providers give us at least 2 guarantors who will stand shortee for them if there should ever be a problem

3.       To work with any of our nannies, clients are required to purchase a mobile hidden camera that they can log into to watch the nanny at any time of the day. Purchasing our hidden camera is absolutely compulsory for all clients that wish to work with us, clients who do not work with us can also reach out to us to purchase and install our cameras at a rate of N40,000

4.       We regularly check up on our  clients and incase of complaints we can easily replace your service provider

Getting our organization to help you get a nanny, (on demand or full time) driver or (on demand or full time) cleaner ensures that you have all the above items fully covered besides it’s a lot easier to get an amazing tutor from us rather than going from place to place. All you have to do is give us a call on 07084399842and tell us what you need

How many parents have you guys worked with so far and what is their testimonial?

In total, we currently work with over 100 parents and have we served over 250 homes in total

What are your prices? Are you guys really affordable?

We discuss pricing based on the client needs and the service they are interested in i.e is it a nanny you want? Or a cleaner or a driver? To know more about the pricing please visit our website and fill any of the forms. But we like parents to know that the surveillance camera cost of N40,000when getting a nanny is absolutely non-negotiable and does not include the payment of the nannies.

How do you contact us?

Care ngis a registered company in Nigeria, Our office is at No 1Zansi close, Iwaya, Lagos, parents can come visit us whenever they want to, our phone number is 07084399842 or you can have a chat with us whenever you visit our site, we have a consultant waiting online to offer free consultation from 10am – 6pm Monday to Friday and 12pm - 4pm on Saturdays.
