Nigeria Launches Landmark ISO Standard to Bolster Anti-Fraud Framework

Nigeria has unveiled a groundbreaking anti-fraud framework with the official launch of the ISO 37003:2025 Fraud Control Management Systems standard, in partnership with the British Standards Institution (BSI). The landmark initiative, coordinated by the Standards Organisation of Nigeria (SON), was launched in Abuja by the Minister of Industry, Trade and Investment, Dr. Jumoke Oduwole, represented by Jachinma Agu, deputy director of reforms. Oduwole described the standard as more than just another regulation, but a “collective resolve to shield Nigeria’s economy from fraud — a hidden tax on development.” “Fraud increases the cost of doing business, erodes investor confidence, stifles innovation, and undermines public trust,” she said. According to the minister, ISO 37003:2025 equips organisations to identify fraud risks, apply proportionate controls, detect illicit activities, and respond swiftly to incidents. She urged both government agencies and private firms to adopt the […]

Cybercrime threatens Nigeria’s development, group warns

The Chief Executive Officer of the We Love Nigeria Unity and Peace Initiative (We Love Nigeria), Anaba Chimele Anthony, has cautioned that cybercrime poses a serious danger to Nigeria’s growth and future development. Speaking in Abuja during the launch of a nationwide sensitisation campaign against internet fraud, Anthony described cybercrime as a growing national embarrassment, particularly among young people. He explained that the grassroots campaign would reach universities, polytechnics, colleges of education, secondary schools, religious centres, diaspora communities, and public spaces to educate Nigerians on the dangers of internet fraud. “Internet fraud and cybercrime by our youths both at home and abroad have become a national embarrassment, turning into an ideology. We are stepping in to complement the efforts of security and intelligence agencies by taking this message to the grassroots,” Anthony said. He commended the Economic and Financial Crimes […]

FG rejects US report on lack of transparency in procurement

The Federal Government has dismissed a report by the United States Department of State alleging that Nigeria lacks transparency in its public procurement process. The 2025 Fiscal Transparency Report had listed Nigeria among 32 African countries said to have made little or no progress in the fiscal policy space. While acknowledging that Nigeria had improved in publishing budget documents and debt obligations, the report faulted the country for failing to disclose information on public procurement contracts. It also criticised the Office of the Auditor-General of the Federation for not publishing comprehensive audit reports, citing weak institutional independence as a major setback. The report recommended that Nigeria should strengthen the independence of its supreme audit institution, make procurement information easily accessible, and publish timely audit reports of executed budgets. Out of 139 countries and the Palestinian Authority assessed, the report found […]

N5.7bn Fraud: EFCC Moves to Seize Sujimoto CEO’s Assets

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has secured a court order against Sijibomi Ogundele, CEO of Sujimoto Luxury Construction Limited, over alleged diversion of ₦5.7 billion meant for 22 Smart Green School projects in Enugu State. Ogundele, whose accounts and international passport had earlier been seized, is now facing remand while investigations continue. The EFCC may also seek a fresh court order to confiscate his personal and company assets. The anti-graft agency declared Ogundele wanted two weeks ago for alleged money laundering. He later took to social media, blaming inflation and “underpriced contracts” for failing to deliver the projects. The Enugu State Government, however, accused him of absconding after receiving a 50% mobilization fee of ₦5.76bn, abandoning sites, and refusing to attend project briefings. In a statement, the government said: Ogundele delivered only shoddy and structurally weak work at […]
