The Governor of Kaduna State, Malam Nasiru Ahmad El-Rufa’i has ordered ministries, agencies and departments in the state to accept old and new currency.
In a statement signed by the Special Adviser, Media and Communication, Mr. Muyiwa Adekeye said that, “In line with the subsisting order of the Supreme Court, the Kaduna State Government has directed its ministries, departments and agencies to ensure that their collection agents continue to accept payments made in all denominations of the naira, old and new”.
It further stated that “the laws of Kaduna State do not allow personnel of government agencies to be involved in cash collection of revenues. The collection agents authorised by state government agencies do offer citizens a route for cash payment, and are expected to comply with the subsisting court order”.
