Distinguished Colleagues,
The leadership of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), in collaboration with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), is pleased to invite you to a series of NBA Anti-money Laundering (NBA-AML) Sensitization Workshop for Legal Practitioners in Nigeria.
As you are aware, Chapter 2 of the Rules of Professional Conduct 2023 provides GUIDELINES AND RULES ON ANTI-MONEY LAUNDERING AND COMBATING THE FINANCING OF TERRORISM FOR LEGAL PRACTITIONERS.
The Rules underscore the preparedness of legal practitioners to self-regulate and not be subjected to external control by law enforcement agencies. They project the NBA’s reputation as a responsible self-regulatory body. Our role in the fight against money laundering and combating the financing of terrorism cannot be overemphasised.
This sensitization workshop for legal practitioners in Nigeria highlights the importance of AML compliance and the role of lawyers in preventing financial crimes. It also provides a comprehensive understanding of the NBA guidelines.
This is the first in the series of this sensitization exercise and shall be held on Tuesday, May 21, 2024, at the NBA House, Abuja, by 8am. We are privileged to have, in this series, two very senior members of the Bar to take us through the workshop and also get perspectives from the relevant enforcement agencies.
Physical attendance is encouraged. Members can also join virtually by following this link:https://us06web.zoom.us/j/86946306742?pwd=RYmbHUP6k7Nziofr1tuKhBfgqE5h6A.IglHphN1PZWhzzfx.
Thank you, and have a restful weekend.
Akorede Habeeb Lawal
National Publicity Secretary
