Nasarawa State Governor, Umaru Tanko Al-Makurawa

THE Nasarawa State government has issued a directive to all commercial banks in the state to suspend any withdrawal request made by its Ministries, Departments and Parastatals (MDAs) pending on when it receives clearance note from the office of the accountant general.

The State Accountant General, Zakka Yakubu disclosed this to newsmen on Tuesday in Lafia, the State capital.

Yakubu stated that their nonchalant attitude to comply with the directive necessitated the suspension of withdrawals.
