Benue State, Rev. Fr. Hyacinth Alia has ordered all government bank accounts frozen.
In his inaugural speech shortly after taking the oath of office as Governor at the IBB Square, Makurdi, on Monday, Alia said that a ‘Post No Debit’ instruction would remain in force until all signatories are changed.
He warned all banks to adhere to the directive without delay.
He said: “May I announce that effective immediately and until further notice, all government bank accounts in all banks are hereby frozen. A ‘Post No Debit’ instruction shall remain in force until all signatories are changed. Any bank that violates this instruction does so at its own risk”.
The Governor expressed his commitment to ensuring transparency and accountability in the state’s finances.
