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.
