Abstract:

This study explores the multifaceted impact of the Treasury Single Account (TSA) on the economic development of Nigeria. The implementation of the TSA, a financial reform introduced to consolidate government funds into a single account for efficient management, has been a pivotal policy in Nigeria’s financial landscape. Through a comprehensive analysis using both quantitative and qualitative research methods, this research assesses the implications of the TSA on various facets of Nigeria’s economic development.

The study examines the efficiency gains, transparency, and accountability brought about by the TSA in managing government finances. Additionally, it investigates the effects of the TSA on fiscal discipline, public financial management, and the overall economic stability of Nigeria. By analyzing key economic indicators, government financial reports, and stakeholder perspectives, the research aims to provide a nuanced understanding of the TSA’s contributions to economic development.

The findings of this research are expected to inform policymakers, financial institutions, and the broader public on the effectiveness of the TSA in promoting economic growth and stability. By shedding light on the challenges and successes of the TSA implementation, the study contributes to the ongoing discourse on financial reforms and their role in fostering sustainable economic development in Nigeria and other developing economies facing similar challenges.

CHAPTER ONE:

INTRODUCTION

1.1 Background of the Study

The economic landscape of Nigeria has witnessed significant transformations over the years, marked by various fiscal policies and financial reforms aimed at enhancing transparency, accountability, and overall economic development. One such landmark initiative is the implementation of the Treasury Single Account (TSA). The TSA, introduced by the Nigerian government, represents a fundamental shift in financial management practices, consolidating government funds into a single account to streamline operations and curb financial leakages. As the government pursues avenues to strengthen the nation’s economic foundations, an examination of the impact of the TSA on Nigeria’s economic development becomes imperative.

The implementation of the policy of treasury single account (TSA) by federal government, banks will not have enough money to run their day to day activities properly. Before now, the major source of funds for banks has been the government, business and the public. Banks will continue to find a means of mobilizing funds from private sector or the public.

Treasury single accounts (TSA) has a negative impact on banks in Nigeria because banks has been surviving with government funds, with the introduction of treasury single account (TSA) those money which are been used to trade would been paid into the country’s treasury account. These money which are paid into treasury are used to appraise government performance.

The era of banks depending on government funds has since passed consequences upon the introduction of treasury single account. Banks should have to look for another source of generating funds in Nigeria. The lack of fund for banks will increase than services toward their customers, it will also create room for staff competition amongst banks.

The implementation of the policy of treasury single account (TSA) by federal government has led to increase in unemployment rate in Nigeria. Okafor(2013) found that in the Nigeria banking sector has human resources challenges, Matannu(2015) cited in Idowu (2005) identified a yawning gap between the immediate or short term effects of economic reforms and the necessary ideals of job security. He concluded that the ability of reforms is to create employment in the last one decade had been very few and far between.

Adeyeme (2007) added that banking reforms such as treasury single account in Nigeria will result in job loss. The implementation of the policy of treasury single account (TSA) by the government will increase in deposit interest rate.

Anyanwu (2010) highlighted the challenges to the recent banking, in his study he include the unfavorable macro-economic environment, cumbersome documentation process, inadequate long term finance, lack of data base on borrowers and poor infrastructure because of the low liquidity of banks, they have to encourage the public by increase interest in rate on deposits.

Zubairu (2006) identified human resources realignment technology integration, stakeholders concern, and monitoring and supervision problems as cumulating from the consolidation of banks in Nigeria. We see a return of the era where women are employed by banks specifically for deposit mobilization and forcibly encouraged to use any means necessary to get funds. Consequent upon the forgoing, the study is poised to examine the impact of treasury single account on the Nigerian banking sector.
