Nigeria Customs Reinforces Anti-Money Laundering Compliance Through Sensitisation Programme
The Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) has reinforced its commitment to combating illicit financial flows and terrorism financing through a sensitisation programme on Anti-Money Laundering and Combating the Financing of Terrorism (AML/CFT), held at its Headquarters in Maitama, Abuja.
The engagement, held on Monday, 4 May 2026, formed part of the Service’s first-quarter operational review meeting and training for officers of the AML/CFT Unit, focusing on enhancing capacity, promoting ethical standards and strengthening inter-agency collaboration.
Speaking during the session, the Assistant Comptroller-General in charge of Headquarters, ACG Muhammad Shuaibu, said the initiative reflects the growing importance of AML/CFT operations within the Service and Nigeria’s broader financial and security framework.
He noted that the impact of the Unit extends beyond seaports, airports and border stations, adding that its achievements over the past year have positioned it as a critical component in safeguarding the nation’s financial system.
ACG Shuaibu also highlighted improvements in Nigeria’s financial ecosystem, noting that Nigerian-issued bank cards are now globally functional, enabling seamless international transactions with automatic currency conversion.
