President Muhammadu Buhari Friday in Abuja said his administration remains focused and more energized in ensuring accountability in the country, noting that enforcing the Treasury Single Account (TSA) was not optional for growth.<\/p>\n

Receiving executives of the Association of National Accountants of Nigeria (ANAN) led by Alhaji Shehu Usman Ladan at the Presidential Villa, President Buhari said insistence on the financial structure required much sacrifice and focus on the part of the government as \u201caccountability\u2019\u2019 was no longer optional.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne of the cardinal objectives of this administration is that people and all government institutions must give account for what comes in and goes out.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe did not introduce TSA, but we enforced it. TSA makes a lot of sense that you must have to give account for whatever comes in and goes out in government finance; that\u2019s accountability,\u2019\u2019 the President said.<\/p>\n

President Buhari urged accountants to remain focused and support the government in the ongoing fight against corruption, warning that they might not be liked by many people because of their professional ethics, but the sacrifice was necessary for the country to grow.<\/p>\n

In his remarks, Alhaji Ladan, who is the President of ANAN, commended President Buhari for the laudable achievements in ensuring an inclusive and strong economy by plugging leakages, and making youth empowerment and infrastructure top priority.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis government has instilled fiscal discipline by plugging leakages,\u2019\u2019 he said, adding that Nigeria\u2019s image in the comity of nations had also improved significantly, attracting more Foreign Direct Investments.<\/p>\n

The ANAN President noted that the President\u2019s assent to the Not-Too-Young-To- Run bill further encouraged youth participation in governance.<\/p>\n

He said the fight against terrorism was commendable as the Boko Haram insurgents had been degraded, extolling the administration\u2019s effort in getting the economy out of recession, and repositioning it for diversity through agriculture.<\/p>\n

\u201cYour second term, Mr President, will bring more succour to Nigerians,\u2019\u2019 he added.\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
