Nigeria's FATF Delisting Boosts Global Confidence in Financial System
Nigeria's delisting from the FATF grey list in October 2025 has been hailed as a significant milestone by AML expert Iguehi Onokevbagbe. The move signifies enhanced global confidence in Nigeria's financial integrity and compliance standards.
The FATF acknowledged Nigeria's progress in addressing strategic deficiencies, particularly in areas like inter-agency coordination, risk-based supervision, and beneficial ownership transparency. Onokevbagbe emphasized the importance of sustaining compliance efforts post-delisting to maintain market confidence and attract investments.
The decision is seen as a turning point for Nigeria's regulatory credibility and economic prospects.
