Tinubu Appoints Hafsat Bakari As NFIU CEO by peekspot(op): 8:22am On Feb 21, 2024
President Bola Tinubu has appointed Hafsat Bakari as the chief executive officer (CEO) of the Nigerian Financial Intelligence Unit (NFIU).

Ajuri Ngelale, presidential spokesperson, announced her appointment in a statement on Tuesday.

Ngelale said Bakari’s appointment would be definitive pending her confirmation by the senate.

Bakari is a lawyer and financial intelligence expert with years of experience in anti-money laundering, counter-terrorism financing, and counter-proliferation financing (AML/CFT/CPF).

The NFIU is a federal agency responsible for collecting and analysing disclosures from reporting organisations, to produce financial intelligence to other agencies combating money laundering, terrorism financing, and other financial crimes.

Before she was appointed NFIU CEO, Bakari served as the agency’s deputy director.

At the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) where she previously worked, Bakari headed the general services unit, strategy and reorientation unit, and the board secretariat.

“The President anticipates that Ms. Bakare will bring her wealth of experience and expertise to full discharge in this critical role, especially in view of his administration’s war against illicit financial flows and other sharp practices currently prevalent in segments of the nation’s foreign exchange markets,” the statement reads.

Tinubu had last week approved the appointment and reappointment of chairpersons of boards and CEOs for eight agencies under the federal ministry of health and social welfare.

Tinubu had also appointed Oyetunde Oladimeji Ojo, his son-in-law, as the CEO of the Federal Housing Authority (FHA).

Damnnn niggar

He keeps on appointing his cronies
Tinubu's administration is a disaster

• You go appoint a Banker, Bayo Adelabu wey na monetary matter him know about all him life as Minister for Power.

Sadly, under Bayo, national grid done collapsed more than 8 times within 8 months, and Megawats don drop patapata from 2,000Mw to 450Mw. Sotey some Discos dey receive Zero Mw.

• You appoint an information (media) guru, Dele Alake as Minister of Mines. Person wey every Nigeria know say na talk him sabi talk.
Nothing dey mine nau.

• You carry a whole trillionaire wey get many companies both home and abroad, Atiku Bagudu take do Minister for Budget & Planning.
Wetin him want plan past him business and political empire.

• You appoint tax collectors and commercial bankers, Wale Edun and Yemi Cardoso as Minister of Finance and Central Bank Governor as if you know dey this country wen Obasanjo spent millions of dollars to get technocrats like Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala and Charles Soludo to help his government stabilize the economy and financial sector.
Kemi Adeosun and Sanusi Lamidi Sanusi also did their best under Jonathan and Buhari's government.

Meanwhile, Adams Oshiomhole warned the Senate make dem no approve appointment of commercial bankers like Cardoso to handle monetary policy of the country.

• You appoint boyfriend and girlfriend, Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo and Beta Edu as Minister of Interior and Humanitarian Affairs. But later sacrificed Beta for Tunji-Ojo wey the entire world know say he follow chop inside Betagate scandal.

• You still come appoint your younger brother, Isiaka Adegboyega Oyetola wey fail woefully as a sitting Governor sotey him opponent defeat am take do Minister for Marine & Blue Economy.
Person wey no know anything about marine sotey the blue economy sef don turn to black economy.

Economy team or federal executive council no be for political patronage or compensation at all.

I swear, Tinubu don put everything and everybody in Nigeria for reverse.

When things go south between this one and the Presidency, The person will have something negative to say about the presidency.


That is Nigerian politics for you where everyone is not there to serve but is there for his or her own personal gain.
