Yola also decried the deficit he said is in the skills and competence of law enforcement agencies in the investigation and prosecution of complex financial crimes.

He said there was need to address these deficits in order to effectively trace, attach and forfeit proceeds of financial crimes.

The Director, Nigeria Financial Intelligence Unit (NFIU), Francis Usani pushed for the need to complete the National Risk Assessment (NRA) Project on time.

In a message, through the Director, Public Affairs Department (PAD), Osita Nwajah, Director General of the EFCC, Ibrahim Lamorde said: ‘‘We owe it to Nigeria to contribute our quota in making the National Risk Assessment a success by prioritising the allocation of our scarce resources to and amongst government agencies, while also providing feed back to the Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Combating the Financing of Terrorism (CFT) risk assessments.”
