Bruce attributes recession to hurried implementation of TSA

Entertainment entrepreneur and lawmaker representing Bayelsa Central Senatorial District, Senator Ben Murray Bruce, has said that the “hurried implementation” of the Treasury Single Account (TSA)  may be one of the reasons the country is in economic recession.

According to the law maker in his Twitter handle on Thursday regretted that everything is politicised in Nigeria, adding that the country’s current interest rate is ridiculous for a country in recession.

His tweets: “Nobody locks up money in a vault in a recession. In fact, the hurried implementation of TSA may be part of the reason we are in a recession.”

“We must make it easier, not more difficult, for business to obtain credit.”

“Now that we have found ourselves in a recession, we must do the commonsensical thing to do and spend our way out of the recession.”

“We politicize everything in Nigeria. It is our undoing because the economy should bow to politics; politics should not bow to the economy!”
