Kano State Governor Abba Yusuf has issued a directive to the state’s Accountant-General to immediately close all accounts held by Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs).
The governor gave the directive during a meeting at the Government House on Wednesday 28th of 2024, attended by the Chairman of the Kano State Internal Revenue Service and heads of MDAs.
Governor Yusuf stressed that the decision is aimed at ensuring that all government revenue is accurately accounted for and efficiently utilized for the state’s development.
He said “the move is part of efforts by the administration to enhance financial transparency and strengthen the management of public funds.”
“We have taken this step to ensure that every naira generated by the state is properly tracked and used to benefit our people,” the governor stated.
The directive comes amid ongoing reviews of the state’s financial systems, including recent discussions on budgetary allocations and reforms in basic education.
The closure of MDA accounts is expected to consolidate state finances under a more centralized and transparent framework, ensuring that resources are directed towards key developmental projects.
