What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that offers growth opportunities and a collaborative environment focused on compliance and legal integrity.

I am a dedicated legal practitioner with hands-on experience in Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and compliance. My expertise lies in conducting comprehensive KYC screenings, due diligence, transaction monitoring, and source-of-wealth verification. I have a proven ability to collaborate across multidisciplinary teams, ensuring that all compliance measures are met effectively.

In my current role as an Assistant Detective Superintendent at the Nigeria Economic & Financial Crimes Commission, I support investigations into complex financial crimes and engage in regulatory outreach to ensure compliance with AML policies. My previous experience as a Legal and Compliance Officer has equipped me with the skills to draft compliance procedures and conduct audits, reinforcing organizational adherence to regulatory standards.
