Nigeria’s Buhari wants MDAs to publicly disclose transactions above N5 million

The portal is to be updated daily with transactions by agencies and ministries, with the aim of encouraging an open treasury. This will also make it possible for Nigerians to monitor government’s daily expenditure.

Speaking on behalf of the President, Nigeria’s Minister of State for the Niger Delta, Senator Tayo Alasoadura, told the Accountant General of the Federation, Ahmed Idris, to ensure that his office publishes details of such government spending, forthwith.

In the same vein, the Accountant General is expected to publish monthly fiscal accounts that will detail all the financial performance of the government, along with receipts.
“The Accountant-General of the Federation (AGF) must publish a daily treasury statement which will provide information about what came into the national purse and what went out every single day. I repeat every single day. Henceforth, treasury is required to publish this information unfailingly. The AGF and all Accounting Officers must publish daily payments reports.

“With these reports, the Treasury will publish payments of at least N10 million while all MDAs must publish payments above N5 million made out of all public funds under their purview. The information to be published must include the MDA responsible, the beneficiary, the purpose and amount of each payment. Accounting Officers are responsible for providing answers to any questions from the public relating to transactions completed by entities under their charge”
