He directed banks and other financial institutions to ensure compliance as the state government would not be responsible for any disbursement effected contrary to the directive, adding that the directive would remain in force until otherwise communicated.

The Imo helmsman cautioned that Heads of government departments, parastatal agencies, permanent secretaries and relevant officers would be held responsible for any breach.
