TINUBU HAILS NIGERIA’S REMOVAL FROM FATF GREY LIST AS MAJOR ECONOMIC MILESTONE
October 25, 2025
President Bola Tinubu has hailed Nigeria’s removal from the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) grey list as a major boost to the nation’s economy and financial credibility.
The FATF, a global body that monitors money laundering and terrorist financing, announced Nigeria’s delisting during its October 2025 Plenary in Paris, France, following the country’s full implementation of a 19-point action plan to strengthen its Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism (AML/CFT) framework.
In a statement by his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, Tinubu described the development as a “strategic victory” and praised key government agencies for executing sweeping reforms.
