The Acting Vice-Chancellor, University of Abuja, UniAbuja, Prof. Aisha Maikudi, says money laundering and terrorism financing are global challenges that threaten nations\u2019 security and undermines the financial systems.<\/p>\n
Maikudi said this on Wednesday in Abuja at a public lecture with the theme, \u201cCombating Money Laundering and Terrorism Financing in Developing Economics: the Role of Lawyers\u2019.<\/p>\n
The event is organised by UniAbuja in collaboration with University of California, San Francisco, United States faculty exchange programme.<\/p>\n
According to her, the role of lawyers in the fight against money laundering and terrorism is indispensable.<\/p>\n
\u201cMoney laundering and terrorism financing are global challenges with profound implications for our nation\u2019s security, economic stability, and societal well-being.<\/p>\n
\u201cThese illicit activities not only fuel crimes and corruptions but also undermine the very foundations of our legal and financial systems.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn this context, the role of lawyers is indispensable. Lawyers are the gatekeepers of justice, entrusted with the responsibility to ensure that the rule of law prevails.<\/p>\n
\u201cLaw profession is uniquely positioned to identify, prevent, and combat these threats through rigorous legal practices, ethical standards, and unwavering commitment to transparency and accountability,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
She said that the lecture provided an invaluable opportunity to deepen understanding of the complexities surrounding money laundering and terrorism financing.<\/p>\n
