Abstract
Nigeria is a country endowed with natural and human resources, but still fall short of the developmental progress required to
positively impact the well being of the average Nigerian. Corruption has been described as one of the greatest challenges of
our time and prevalence of high level of corruption in governance has been identified as one major obstacle militating against
rapid growth and development. This study examines the benefits of TSA strategy and concludes that despite the plethora of
legislation and agencies fighting corruption, it has remained pervasive because of the disconnection between the posturing of
leaders and their conduct and failure to utilize universally accepted and tested strategies; a good example which is TSA. It
therefore recommends that the government through the Office of the Accountant General of the Federation (OAGF) must
come up with the guidelines and modalities that will strengthen the process of TSA implementation.
