Kano State Governor, Engr. Abba Kabir Yusuf, on Wednesday, ordered the immediate closure of all bank accounts linked to Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDA) in the state.
He cited growing lack of transparency as major reason for his action.
Yusuf also vowed to jack up the Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) drive in the state.
Yusuf, who spoke at Government House, Kano, announced his intention to digitalize all financial transactions within the government circle to fight corruption and ensure transparency.
He decried the discovering of multiple expenditures in some MDAs.
He described Kano State’s revenue generation as low, compared to other states like Kaduna, which generates N10 billion, while Kano grapples with N1.6 billion.
