As part of the ongoing activities of the NBA Anti-Money Laundering Committee (NBA AMLC) to improve the understanding of the Rules of Professional Conduct and Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Financing of Terrorism measures by lawyers in Nigeria, a hybrid training will hold on 12th December. The targeted participants for this training are the chairmen and executive members of the NBA branches across the country. Participants will be provided zoom links to join online.

The training will provide an overview of the Rules of Professional Conduct (RPC) and other regulatory frameworks for lawyers in Nigeria. It will also provide a summary of the findings of the Risk Assessment Report (RAR) with recommendations on how to mitigate the identified risks. The training further aims to encourage the NBA branches to circulate information and findings with their members across the country.

The President of the Nigerian Bar Association, Mazi Afam Osigwe, SAN will be in attendance.
