Nigerian Government Mandates E-Receipts for MDAs in Digital Treasury Overhaul

The Nigerian government has unveiled a digital treasury reform program to modernize financial operations by enforcing e-receipts for Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs) from January 2026. The initiative aims to eliminate paper-based processes, enhance transparency, and curb corruption.

Dr. Shamseldeen B.

Ogunjimi expressed concerns over the continued acceptance of physical cash in MDA transactions despite existing Treasury Single Account (TSA) policies. The move towards e-receipts marks a significant shift towards digital governance and financial accountability in Nigeria.
