The Acting Chairman, Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Mr. Ibrahim Magu, on Wednesday announced that
the Nigerian Financial Intelligence Unit under its supervision would get full autonomy on January 1, 2018.
He was however accused by the commission for failing to report the matter to
the Nigerian Financial Intelligence Unit, NFIU, as required by the law.
Also speaking, the Director of
the Nigerian Financial Intelligence Unit, Mr. Francis Usani, disagreed with the move by the National Assembly to make the NFIU a completely independent agency.
