Abuja – The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Water Board has warned that it would replace banks which still had challenges with aligning with the Treasury Single Account (TSA) for its revenue collection.
Mr Udu Bello, Director of the board, made this known in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria on Tuesday in Abuja.
Bello said that some designated banks had been turning back customers due to challenges with the TSA.
“There are some banks that have problems with aligning with the TSA and we have been holding meetings with the banks.
“They are expected to sweep the remittances to the CBN everyday and it is no longer lucrative for them.
“Moreso, when there is a penalty for banks who comply, so they have been turning back our customers.
“We urge our customers to ignore banks like Bank UBA, Aso Savings, Mainstreet Bank and First Bank and pay their bills at Unity Bank, Zenith Bank, Fidelity Bank, Diamond Bank, GTB, FCMB,’’ he said.
He advised residents to improve their cooperation with the board by always paying their bills or risk disconnection.
“Some residents of high brow areas like Asokoro and Maitama are usually reluctant to pay their charges.
“Some claim that they are using boreholes, whereas they are using our services.
“Henceforth, we will remove our infrastructure from any location where residents claim to be using borehole,’’ he said. (NAN)
