President Bola Tinubu has given his nod to the appointment of Hafsat Bakari as the Director/Chief Executive Officer of the Nigerian Financial Intelligence Unit (NFIU), pending confirmation by the Senate.

This decision comes as Bakari steps in to replace Modibbo Tukur, who was relieved of his duties by Tinubu in June 2023.

The announcement was made via a statement issued by Tinubu’s Special Adviser to the President (Media and Publicity), Ajuri Ngelale.

Bakari brings a wealth of expertise to her new role, being described as a seasoned lawyer and financial intelligence expert.
