Barely two weeks after Kogi governorship election, the State Government has directed the freezing of all State and Local Government accounts with immediate effect.
A statement by the Commissioner for Finance, Asiwaju Asiru Idris, made this known on Thursday in Lokoja, the state capital.
The statement read apart: “No imprest or any form of payment should be made to anyone from Government Account henceforth.
“Standing Orders and Investment Instructions are hereby cancelled forthwith.
”All Kogi State and Local Government Accounts are hereby FROZEN with effect from today, Thursday 22nd November 2003.”
Recall that the state governor, Alhaji Yahaya Bello last week Saturday issued query to all the 21 local government areas which he directed that they must answer in 72 hours.
