The Nigerian Financial Intelligence Unit (NFIU) has reiterated its commitment to combating money laundering and other financial crimes in the country, vowing to leave no stone unturned in its quest.
Speaking at the opening session of the 1st NFIU Management Retreat in Abuja on Monday, CEO Hajiya Hafsat Bakari emphasized the unit’s commitment to working with stakeholders to achieve this goal, citing the need for collaboration and information sharing to stay ahead of criminals.
According to Bakari, the NFIU’s efforts aim to remove Nigeria from the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) grey list by May 2025. To achieve this, the unit has developed a robust and innovative organizational structure, prioritizing high-risk predicate offenses and enhancing domestic cooperation to contribute to ongoing law enforcement and regulatory actions.
