Akwa Ibom State Governor, Umo Eno, has lauded the performance of the Treasury Single Account (TSA) policy, revealing that the state’s internally generated revenue (IGR) has surged from N2 billion to N7 billion monthly just three months after its introduction.
The TSA policy, implemented on January 1, 2026, requires all Ministries, Departments, and Agencies to remit all government revenues into a centralised account to enhance transparency and accountability. Speaking during the Government House Monthly Prayer Service at the Latter House Chapel in Uyo on Saturday, Eno described the revenue increase as “heartwarming” and reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to making Akwa Ibom self sustaining.
“We want to make our state self sufficient. In the next few years, we aim to raise our internally generated revenue to a point where it can at least pay our salaries,” the governor said, noting that the TSA has been instrumental in this rapid growth.
Eno urged all government agencies and financial stakeholders to adhere strictly to TSA rules and standards, warning that any compromise or sabotage would be dealt with decisively. He added that the state’s development efforts are guided by the ARISE Agenda, his economic blueprint, and the needs documents submitted by residents.
The governor stressed that development is a sequential process, emphasizing that his administration is executing projects and programmes strategically for sustainable transformation. On the political front, he advised residents to maintain peace and unity, warning against unnecessary political agitation.
Rev. Simeon Afolabi, founder of Firstlove Assembly Port Harcourt, who preached at the service, highlighted the importance of trusting God, describing Him as “El Shaddai,” the Almighty God, mighty in wisdom, power, and influence.
