The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has reaffirmed its commitment to maintaining a transparent and resilient financial system by reinforcing regulatory compliance and risk management across Nigerian financial institutions.

According to a statement that was issued on Sunday, CBN Governor Olayemi Cardoso saved the assurance at a high-level mandatory compliance and anti-Money laundering training workshop held in collaboration with Citi on February 28, 2025, in Lagos.

Special adviser to the governor on compliance, Shola Phillips, emphasised the need for strict adherence to global banking standards to sustain confidence in Nigeria’s financial sector.

“Regulators expect financial institutions to maintain dynamic, risk-based AML/CFT programmes that are responsive to the evolving financial environment. Proactive engagement with regulatory developments and the integration of innovative compliance solutions are essential for institutions to meet these expectations effectively,” Phillips stated.

The training, attended by compliance officers, trade operations specialists, and correspondent banking teams from various financial institutions, provided critical insights into global regulatory trends, emerging financial risks, and strategies for sustaining correspondent banking relationships.

Managing director of Citi’s Correspondent Banking Group, Siobhan Ni Ealaithe highlighted the critical role of robust governance frameworks in mitigating risks. She underscored the necessity of Know Your Customer (KYC), Know Your Business (KYB), and Know Your Transaction (KYT) protocols in preventing illicit financial activities.

Head of EMEA AML Risk Management for Foreign Correspondent Banking, Stephanie Bailey provided a stark assessment of financial crime risks, noting that over $3 trillion in illicit funds flow through the global financial system annually. She urged financial institutions to strengthen due diligence measures, leverage technology-driven risk assessments, and uphold transparency in all transactions.

The workshop aligns with Cardoso’s vision to uphold regulatory excellence and strengthen Nigeria’s financial system. As Governor Cardoso has consistently emphasised, “A strong financial system is built on trust, and trust is earned through integrity and compliance. The CBN will continue to set high regulatory standards to protect Nigeria’s financial ecosystem and ensure its alignment with global best practices.”

By fostering a strong culture of compliance and strengthening risk management frameworks, the CBN aims to safeguard Nigeria’s financial sector while ensuring its resilience and credibility locally and globally.
