Taraba State Governor, Agbu Kefas, has signed an executive order prohibiting the abuse of the Naira through spraying, throwing, mutilation and other unlawful practices during social and public celebrations.

The order, which takes immediate effect, directs event organisers, religious institutions and traditional leaders to discourage the practice in line with the Central Bank of Nigeria Act.

However, the governor clarified that monetary gifts are still permitted but must be presented through lawful means, including envelopes, bank transfers and electronic payments.

He warned that public officers who violate the directive would face appropriate disciplinary measures.
