Federal Government don show face again with new digital system wey dem call Federal Treasury Receipt (FTR) — one big reform wey go help stop revenue leakages and make govment money matter open and clear for everybody eye.
Dis new FTR go make every payment wey people make to govment get one correct, digital and verifiable receipt, so no money go waka enter Treasury wey nobody fit trace again.
Finance Ministry talk say the system na part of plan to tighten control and stop loophole wey people dey use thief public money.
The FTR join body with another new setup wey dem call Central Billing System (CBS) — wey go make all govment service charges get one standard price. Both of dem go work together inside one big digital network wey dem call Revenue Optimisation and Assurance Platform (RevOp) wey don start since August 1, 2025.
RevOp go help govment see revenue wey dey enter from ministries and agencies live and direct, and e go reconcile the money automatically between Treasury and those agencies.
Govment yarn say, “We wan make sure say every naira wey belong to Nigeria enter account, balance well, and e no miss road.”
If e work well, dis FTR go help Nigeria catch more money wey dey miss, stop fake receipts, and boost people confidence say govment dey transparent. E fit even make people begin pay tax by themselves without wahala.
Nigeria tax-to-GDP ratio still low pass 10%, and IMF don tell Nigeria say make dem use technology take stop leakages and expand tax base.
For now, 10 federal agencies don start test-run for 30 days before dem go roll am out for the whole country. Dis one go join the new Nigeria Revenue Service (NRS) wey go begin work by January 2026 to manage all govment revenue from one place.
But people still dey ask whether all ministries and agencies go gree use am well and whether the network fit carry real-time monitoring across the whole country.
