Governor Monday Okpebholo of Edo State, on Thursday, ordered the freezing of all State-owned bank accounts with immediate effect, until further notice.
In a statement by the Chief Press secretary to the state governor, Fred Itua, the Governor also warned commercial banks, heads of Ministries, Departments and Agencies, MDAs to comply with the order immediately without any delays.
Governor Okpebholo warned that anyone, including heads of MDAs and civil servants who flout the order will be severely punished.
In the meantime, the Governor has asked the relevant Government agencies to reverse the Ministry of Roads and Bridges to the Ministry of Works.
The reversed infamous name was conceptualized during the administration of Godwin Obaseki.
Governor Okpebholo said since no bridges or good roads were constructed by the administration of Obaseki, it is therefore absurd to maintain such a name.
The Governor has therefore ordered relevant government agencies to implement the new order and immediately reflect the new name.
