El-Rufai explained that after the establishment of the TSA, the state government will open specified sub-accounts with the CBN and the commercial banks.

“The banks’ officials present assured the governor that within five working days of receiving the formal instructions from the state government, they will close the accounts and remit the balances to the TSA.”

While thanking the banks for their continued support, the governor assured them that a session will be organized to explain to the banks how the new TSA and the sub-accounts will work.
