Francis Nwifuru, Ebonyi State governor, has ordered a freeze of all bank accounts operated by the state government.
Monday Uzor, chief press secretary to the governor, said the directive is effective from May 30 till further notice.
Uzor said all banks where these accounts are domiciled must comply.
“His Excellency, the governor of Ebonyi State, Rt. Hon Francis Ogbonna Nwifuru, has directed the immediate freezing of all state government accounts domiciled in various banks with effect from Tuesday, 30th May 2023,” the CPS said.
“Consequently the governor directs the bank managers of all the banks that operate government accounts to immediately comply by ensuring that no payment is made from any government accounts till further notice.”
The governor’s directive came hours after he took over the reins of power in Ebonyi.
He succeeds David Umahi, former governor of the state and now a senator-elect.
