Akwa Ibom State Governor, Umo Eno, has expressed satisfaction with the performance of the Treasury Single Account policy, revealing that in just three months the state’s internally generated revenue has climbed from N2bn to N7bn monthly.
The TSA policy, introduced on January 1, 2026, mandates all Ministries, Departments and Agencies to remit all government revenues into a single, centralised account to ensure transparency and accountability.
Speaking during the Government House Monthly Prayer Service at the Latter House Chapel, Government House, Uyo, on Saturday, Eno reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to raising the state’s IGR in the next few months to a financially sustainable point where it can pay workers’ salaries.
“We want to make our state self-sustaining and sufficient. In the next few years, we should be able to raise our internally generated revenue to a point where it can at least pay our salaries.
“From our Treasury Single Account, TSA, started a month ago, it’s indeed heartwarming that our internally generated revenue has suddenly risen from N2 billion to N7 billion monthly,” he said.
Eno urged all government Ministries, Departments, Agencies, and relevant financial stakeholders to abide by the set rules and standards of the TSA to boost revenue generation, warning that any act of compromise or sabotage would be treated accordingly.
He also stated that his administration’s development strides are based on the ARISE Agenda, his economic blueprint, and the needs documents presented to him by people across the state.
He said the development blueprint is a well-thought-out document designed to address the development needs of the state.
“I want to assure Akwa Ibomites that we are still running on the development blueprint that we presented to the state, and we are working tirelessly to ensure that we achieve the goals of the people’s mandate,” he said.
The governor said development is not automatic, adding that his administration is executing projects and programmes sequentially for the sustainable transformation of the state.
On the unfolding political season, Eno urged residents to read the political temperature in the state and avoid heating up the polity, stressing that there would be no compensation for unwarranted political wastage.
He implored residents to continue supporting peace, unity, and development in the state, stressing that the government remains committed to prioritising the security and welfare of the people.
Preaching on the theme, “El-Shaddai – the God Almighty,” the founder and serving Overseer of Firstlove Assembly, Port Harcourt, Rev. Simeon Afolabi, said no one gets to know God by going to the university but by His revelation, adding that such revelation dispels fear and gives boldness and strength to conquer.
The cleric explained that “El-Shaddai” means the Almighty God—mighty in wisdom, excellence, power, influence, and in all spheres of life—and urged Christians to continue trusting God, who, according to him, surrounds His people like Mount Zion surrounds Jerusalem.
