In a bid to coordinate and manage recovered assets, the Federal government has come up with a central database.
The central database is a subset of the 2019 Assets Tracing, Recovery and Management Regulations (ATRM), and the Central Criminal Justice Information System of the 2017-2021 National Anti-Corruption Strategy. Anti-corruption agencies will be able to easily access the database and ensure the accountability of recovered assets.
Abubakar Malami (SAN), Attorney General of the federation and Minister of Justice said, “The database is intended to deepen our transparency and accountability and, in so doing, we have established that commitment through the inclusion of civil society organisations in our fight against corruption.
“We have consolidated on that by way of enrolling as members of the open government partnership and consolidate the same by way of taking legislative steps to establish the desired legal framework on account of which we have in place multiple agencies.”
