The Independent Corrupt Practices Commission chairman called for a unified African strategy to fight financial crimes. Dr. Musa Adamu Aliyu spoke at the first African Asset Recovery Practitioners' Forum in Nairobi, Kenya, pushing for stronger diplomatic efforts to recover stolen assets.
Aliyu highlighted Africa's historical exploitation and stressed the need for collective action against global financial challenges. He warned about low participation from North African nations and the risk of misappropriating recovered funds. The forum aims to build capacity, create a digital asset tracing platform, and engage with international institutions.
Participants resolved to track, audit, and reinvest recovered funds into critical development sectors like education and infrastructure. The initiative supports the Common African Position on Asset Recovery launched in Tanzania. Nigeria continues to lead anti-corruption efforts on the global stage.
The ICPC chairman emphasized the importance of transparent oversight and collaborative approaches. He challenged global reluctance to cooperate on asset recovery and mutual legal assistance. Practitioners are committed to reclaiming African wealth and combating financial crimes through strategic diplomacy.
