The senate has passed the Nigeria Financial Intelligence Agency (NFIA) bill which removes the unit from the control of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
The bill was introduced last Thursday by Chukwuka Utazi, chairman committee on anti-corruption, following the suspension of Nigeria by the Egmont Group.
One of the grounds for the suspension was that the Nigeria financial intelligence unit (NFIU) was not independent.
There may now be the creation of the Nigeria Financial Intelligence Agency as another anti-graft agency in the country
