The Special Control Unit against Money Laundering (SCUML) and the Nigerian Financial Intelligence Unit (NFIU) have strengthened their partnership by organizing a training session on Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Counter-Terrorism Financing (CFT) compliance for prominent stakeholders in Nigeria’s gaming industry. 

According a signed statement by the commission’s spokesperson Dele Oyewale, the training, jointly organized by the Association of Nigerian Bookmakers, Nigeria Licensed Lottery Operators Forum, and the Association of Casino Operators, with support from the Lagos State Lotteries and Gaming, held on Friday, May 16, 2025 at Radisson Blu Hotel, Ikeja, Lagos.

Speaking during the program,  Assistant Commander of the EFCC, ACE 1 Ibinabo Amachree, Head, SCUML, Lagos, provided insights on operators’ obligations under the Money Laundering (Prevention and Prohibition) Act, 2022, and Nigeria’s broader efforts to improve its AML/CFT compliance posture.

Participants were sensitized on risk-based compliance approaches, Know Your Customer (KYC) requirements, Suspicious Transaction Reports (STRs), and emerging typologies of money laundering within the gaming ecosystem. The session also featured technical presentations and guidance from officials of NFIU. 

The event provided a platform for dialogue, knowledge exchange, and a renewed commitment by gaming operators to adopt global best practices, while also contributing to Nigeria’s efforts toward exiting the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) grey list.

The training marks a significant milestone in fostering regulatory awareness and operational readiness among gaming industry operators in line with national AML/CFT priorities.
