The Tinubu Media Volunteers (TMV) called Nigeria’s removal from the EU’s high-risk list for AML/CFT a significant milestone that might set the country on the right path worldwide.
The group’s Chairman, Chukwudi Enekwechi, and Secretary, Segun Ogedengbe, said the decision will strengthen the country’s international standing.
The decision follows Nigeria’s removal from the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) list of Jurisdictions under Increased Monitoring in October 2025 after completing its FATF Action plan.
President Bola Tinubu’s remarkable leadership and strong political resolve in implementing ambitious economic reforms are to be commended.
“This visionary leadership has enabled exceptional inter-agency coordination and collaboration with all stakeholders, including international partners, and legal, regulatory, and institutional reforms to address Nigeria’s AML/CFT framework deficiencies.
Nigeria’s worldwide financial credibility would improve as this move eases due diligence requirements for Nigerian individuals, firms, and financial institutions doing business with European peers. Investor confidence, correspondent banking ties, and Nigeria’s integration into the international financial system would improve.
“We believe President Tinubu has, in a short time, greatly improved Nigeria’s global business standing.”
The group stated that Nigeria has seen tremendous developments in various sectors since President Tinubu took office.
