The Nigerian Financial Intelligence Unit (NFIU) is the central body responsible for combating financial crimes such as money laundering, terrorism financing, and illicit financial flows. It collects, analyzes, and disseminates financial intelligence to law enforcement agencies and regulatory authorities. The NFIU works closely with domestic and international stakeholders to ensure compliance with anti-money laundering (AML) and counter-terrorism financing (CTF) standards. As a regulatory body, it enhances Nigeria’s financial transparency, enforces strict monitoring of financial transactions, and supports the global fight against financial crime by adhering to the recommendations of the Financial Action Task Force (FATF).
