The Grassroots Mobilisation Initiative (GMI) has expressed profound solidarity and unalloyed support for the visionary leadership of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, following the monumental announcement of Nigeria’s official removal from the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) grey list.
The group pledged that the organisation would intensify its efforts at the grassroots level to communicate the significance of this achievement to Nigerians, assuring them that the economic pain associated with necessary reforms is already yielding tangible, beneficial results.
In a statement by its National Coordinator, Samaila Musa, the GMI described the development as a decisive victory for Nigeria’s economic sovereignty, institutional integrity, and global credibility under President Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda.
He said: “This achievement, successfully communicated by the Presidency’s strategic team, is not merely a technical compliance milestone; it is a decisive victory for Nigeria’s economic sovereignty, institutional integrity, and global credibility under the Renewed Hope Agenda.”
Musa said that the delisting marks the culmination of the President’s political will and the implementation of far-reaching legal, institutional, and operational reforms within the country’s Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Financing of Terrorism (AML/CFT) framework.
He added: “For years, the grey listing hampered capital inflows, increased transaction costs for Nigerian businesses, and negatively impacted our financial reputation.
“President Tinubu’s commitment has now shattered that barrier, signalling to the world that Nigeria is ready for legitimate, large-scale international investment. This strategic victory will unlock new channels of global partnership and accelerate the economic recovery we all desire.”
Solidarity from the Grassroots
The Grassroots Mobilisation Initiative, committed to supporting governance that translates to palpable progress for the common man, stands firmly behind President Tinubu’s administration.
“We commend the President for treating this challenge not as a setback, but as a critical call to action, thereby securing a strategic victory for our economy and a renewed vote of confidence in Nigeria’s financial governance,” as noted by the Presidency.
“We pledge to intensify our efforts at the grassroots level to communicate the significance of this achievement to every Nigerian, assuring them that the economic pain associated with necessary reforms is yielding tangible, beneficial results.”
The group called on stakeholders, patriotic citizens, and international partners to recognise this bold step and continue to support the administration’s drive towards a more transparent, stable, and prosperous Nigeria.
