The EFCC has called on Designated Non-Financial Businesses and Professions, DNFBPs, to conduct their dealings in line with the provisions of the newly enacted Money Laundering Prohibition and Prevention Act 2022. The Lagos Zonal Commander of the EFCC, Ahmed Ghali, gave the charge today, August 17, 2022, during a two-day sensitization programme organised by the Special Control Unit Against Money Laundering, SCUML, for DNFBPs on the implementation of the newly passed AML/CFT Legislation. According to him “This sensitization is important because we do not want friction between the EFCC and DNFBPs, as we have seen in recent times.
“All that we are saying to you at this workshop is to comply with the requirements of the money laundering laws, so that you will be able to transact your businesses with ease and not experience any sanctions from the EFCC.”
