Gov Otti freezes Abia accounts, dissolves boards

The Abia State Governor, Alex Otti, has ordered the immediate freezing of the state government’s accounts in banks and other financial institutions in the country.

The governor gave the directive in a statement issued on Tuesday in Umuahia by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Mr. Ferdinand Ekeoma.

He also dissolved the boards of all government agencies and parastatals in the state and directed the chief executives of the organisations to hand over to the next senior officers in line.
