Nigeria has secured additional grades in its fight against terrorism financing and money laundering, the Nigerian Financial Intelligence Unit (NFIU) has said.
In a statement on Monday, the agency said Nigeria’s progress was specially recognised at the 42nd meeting of the technical commission of ECOWAS’ Inter-Governmental Group Against Money Laundering in West Africa (GIABA), which took place between 17 and 23 November in Freetown, the Republic of Sierra Leone.
The Chief Executive Officer of NFIU, Hafsat Bakari, who doubles as Nigeria’s National Correspondence for GIABA, led Nigeria’s delegation to attend the plenary.
