The Grassroots Mobilisation Initiative (GMI) has lauded President Bola Tinubu for what it described as a “strategic victory” following Nigeria’s removal from the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) grey list.
In a statement on Monday by its National Coordinator, Samaila Musa, the group said the delisting marked a new chapter in Nigeria’s economic sovereignty, institutional integrity, and global credibility under the Renewed Hope Agenda.
Musa noted that the feat reflected the President’s political will and the successful implementation of critical reforms within the country’s Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Financing of Terrorism framework.
He said, “For years, the grey listing hampered capital inflows, increased transaction costs, and dented Nigeria’s 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.”
The group described the development as a milestone that would “unlock new channels of global partnership and accelerate economic recovery.”
Reaffirming its loyalty, GMI said it remained firmly behind the President’s administration, pledging to take the message of progress to the grassroots.
“We commend the President for treating this challenge not as a setback, but as a call to action,” Musa added. “The economic pain Nigerians have endured is yielding tangible results.”
The organisation called on stakeholders, citizens, and the international community to rally behind the government’s efforts to build a more transparent and prosperous Nigeria.
