The Kaduna State Governor, Malam Nasir El-Rufai has directed ministries, departments and agencies in the state to accept payments both in the old existing and the new N1,000, N500 and N200 naira notes.
Special Adviser to the Governor on Media and Communication, Muyiwa Adekeye, conveyed the Governor’s directives in a statement issued on Sunday in Kaduna, and obtained by metrowatchxtra.com.
He said the directive is in line with the subsisting order of the Supreme Court.
“The laws of Kaduna State do not allow personnel of government agencies to be involved in cash collection of revenues,” Adekeye said.
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,” the statement added.
Governor El-Rufai, therefore, directed the MDAs to ensure that their collection agents continue to accept payments made in all denominations of the naira, old and new.
