NBA Spearheads Partnership With ICPC To Fight Terror Financing
in the areas of training and sensitization
The Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) and the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) are to foster a working partnership in the areas of training and sensitization of its members to enhance their capacity in dealing with the menace of money laundering and terrorism financing in Nigeria.
The idea of partnership between the two bodies was brokered when the President of the NBA, Mr. Yakubu Chonoko Maikyau, OON, SAN, and some members of his team paid a courtesy visit to the Chairman of the ICPC, Dr. Musa Adamu Aliyu, SAN at the Commission’s Headquarters in Abuja.
The NBA President stated that the purpose of his visit was to inform the ICPC Boss and his management team of what the NBA had done and is still doing that was directly connected to the mandate of the commission.
The visit, he said, was also to seek the support of the Commission in the area of training and sensitization of its members on the implementation of the Anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing as contained in the rules of Professional Conduct of the Association.
