President Bola Tinubu Orders EFCC To Unfreeze Osun State Bank Accounts

‎President Bola Tinubu has ordered the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission to immediately unfreeze the bank accounts of the Osun State Government. ‎ ‎ ‎

The directive was issued following public outcry over the restriction placed on the state funds. ‎ ‎

President Tinubu described the timing of the action by the anti-graft agency as deeply embarrassing to his administration. ‎

‎The state government had earlier raised concerns that the frozen accounts crippled administrative activities and public service delivery. ‎ ‎

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission had initiated the account block as part of an ongoing financial investigation. ‎ ‎

Osun State officials maintained that state resources were managed transparently and urged federal authorities to intervene promptly. ‎ ‎

Following the presidential instruction, the anti-graft body is expected to notify the affected commercial banks to restore full access. ‎ ‎

Residents and state workers in Osogbo expressed relief as the resolution will allow the payment of salaries and operational expenses. ‎
