Nigeria Launches Women's AML/CFT Leadership Network
The Nigerian Financial Intelligence Unit (NFIU) is scheduled to launch the Nigeria chapter of the Women’s Anti-Money Laundering and Counter Financing of Terrorism (AML/CFT) Leadership Network on October 6, 2026. This initiative, led by Hafsat Abubakar Bakari, aims to strengthen women's leadership in the fight against financial crime.
The launch aligns with the global movement for women's involvement in AML/CFT efforts and is part of the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) initiatives under Singapore's presidency. The network will provide a platform for mentorship, knowledge sharing, and leadership development among women in the anti-financial crime sector.
Bakari emphasized the significant contributions of women to Nigeria's AML/CFT framework across various sectors. The initiative is expected to foster stronger connections within the AML/CFT community in Nigeria and advocate for the establishment of a West Africa chapter of the network to enhance regional cooperation.
