The state Commissioner of Finance, Shehu Na Allah Kura, who disclosed this on Monday at a workshop for Directors of Administration and General Services and Heads of Accounts in public institutions in the state, said the decision was part of the resolutions taken at the November 2017 meeting of the state executive council.
