In Kaduna, the Center, with the support of the Inter-Governmental Action Group Against Money Laundering in West Africa (GIABA), convened a roundtable discussion on Nigeria’s asset recovery regime.
The forum brought together members of selected professional bodies, government agencies, and civil society organizations to discuss the role of stakeholders in mobilizing actions against illicit financial flow, recovery of stolen assets, and management of same. Participants emphasized that asset recovery and management are critical for national development, particularly as illicit financial flows and looted assets continue to weaken public service delivery and economic stability.
Legal practitioners, journalists and civil society stakeholders were urged to educate and sustain public awareness on the processes and legal frameworks guiding the recovery and management of stolen assets. The roundtable reiterated that citizen demand for transparency and accountability is not just essential but must become a central feature in the fight against public sector corruption.
This engagement in Kaduna follows similar events held in Abuja and Kano recently as part of the Center’s ongoing nationwide advocacy aimed at mobilizing professional associations, civic groups, and anti-corruption stakeholders to advance accountability, promote the recovery of stolen public wealth, and restore public trust in governance.
