place for all of us to leave. Without an agency

47
00:03:14,400 –> 00:03:18,080
like the EFCC, saints would fall apart more than what

48
00:03:18,240 –> 00:03:22,360
we are experiencing now. And as elderly citizens, we appreciate

country to deploy their technological skills for the benefits of

60
00:04:04,680 –> 00:04:08,000
the nation and for their individual development rather than for

61
00:04:08,120 –> 00:04:12,439
negative and fraudulent purposes. He met the call in Abuja

62
00:04:12,520 –> 00:04:16,279
on Tuesday, August twenty seven, twenty twenty four. While addressing

63
00:04:16,319 –> 00:04:22,079
the Nigerian Youth Stakeholders conversation themed Digital Economic Transition Pathway

64
00:04:22,160 –> 00:04:28,519
to Global Competitiveness. The Director Public Affairs Department Commander of

65
00:04:28,560 –> 00:04:34,199
the efcac C, E. Wilson will Jeren, who represented olukoy Day,

66
00:04:34,680 –> 00:04:37,560
said there was so much opportunity for youths in the

67
00:04:37,600 –> 00:04:42,000
digital space to demonstrate their technological skills instead of using

68
00:04:42,040 –> 00:04:47,040
such skills for fraudulent activities. According to him, the Commission

69
00:04:47,160 –> 00:04:50,600
identified with the objectives of the program and at harnessing

70
00:04:50,680 –> 00:04:53,879
that takes skills of young Nigerians for the nation’s economic

71
00:04:53,959 –> 00:04:58,279
development and personal growth of the citizenry. All of us

72
00:04:58,279 –> 00:05:02,120
are aware of the tremendous that our young citizens possess,

73
00:05:02,720 –> 00:05:07,000
especially in technology we are all aware of the marveluss

74
00:05:07,079 –> 00:05:12,199
things Nigerians are doing, especially in the fintech ecosystem. I

75
00:05:12,360 –> 00:05:15,360
doubt there is any other country in Africa that has

76
00:05:15,399 –> 00:05:18,279
the type of resources that this nation has in terms

77
00:05:18,319 –> 00:05:21,560
of the deployment of technology by young persons in all

78
00:05:21,600 –> 00:05:26,839
areas of development. Technology is something you cannot run away from.

79
00:05:27,040 –> 00:05:29,839
It is the future of the whole world and we

80
00:05:30,000 –> 00:05:34,199
must ensure that youths who are having these skills deploy

81
00:05:34,279 –> 00:05:38,120
them for the benefit of our nation, he said. He

82
00:05:38,160 –> 00:05:41,399
pointed out that the reputation of Nigeria is a step

83
00:05:41,560 –> 00:05:44,319
or into the negative use of technology, adding that as

84
00:05:44,360 –> 00:05:47,720
long as young Nigerians continue to defraud citizens of other

85
00:05:47,800 –> 00:05:52,000
countries of their earned money, the nation’s reputation will continue

86
00:05:52,000 –> 00:05:55,959
to suffer. He count all well meaning Nigerians who are

87
00:05:56,000 –> 00:05:58,959
aware of the dangerous implication of cyber crime on the

88
00:05:59,000 –> 00:06:01,759
economy of the nation to rise off and joint forces

89
00:06:01,800 –> 00:06:05,560
with the Commission to see that together Nigeria wins the

90
00:06:05,600 –> 00:06:10,079
world against cybercrime. According to all Lukoyi Day, it’s time

91
00:06:10,199 –> 00:06:13,839
Nigeria moved back to the foundational era of moral values.

92
00:06:14,600 –> 00:06:17,680
The foundation of our moral values is threatened by the

93
00:06:17,759 –> 00:06:21,240
emphasis we have placed on wealth. It is really suddenly

94
00:06:21,360 –> 00:06:24,439
that parents across the country today do not frown at

95
00:06:24,480 –> 00:06:28,560
sudden wealth by their children. You found a situation where

96
00:06:28,639 –> 00:06:31,920
children who are being fried and catered for by their

97
00:06:31,959 –> 00:06:37,439
own parents suddenly become wealthy and nobody asks questions. Across

98
00:06:37,480 –> 00:06:41,079
our campuses, we have young people who are driving cars

99
00:06:41,120 –> 00:06:44,279
that their parents can only help in their dreams, yet

100
00:06:44,360 –> 00:06:48,319
nobody asks questions. There is no way we can solve

101
00:06:48,360 –> 00:06:51,439
those problems until we look inward and find a way

102
00:06:51,480 –> 00:06:55,319
to teach the core values. There is no Nigerian ethnic

103
00:06:55,399 –> 00:06:59,720
group that celebrates stealing, fraud or cheating which is another

104
00:06:59,839 –> 00:07:02,600
name for stealing, and we need to revive those core

105
00:07:02,680 –> 00:07:07,160
values that we have, he said. President and convenor of

106
00:07:07,199 –> 00:07:11,360
the program, Blessing all Effaces, in his opening remarks, said

107
00:07:11,399 –> 00:07:14,399
the event was a response to the yearnings of Nigerian

108
00:07:14,439 –> 00:07:16,839
youths to lead the country. Added that the have what

109
00:07:17,040 –> 00:07:20,120
it takes to lead the country. It is not out

110
00:07:20,160 –> 00:07:24,439
of plans that leaders of tomorrow must coexist with regulatory agencies,

111
00:07:24,839 –> 00:07:29,279
policy mechas social impact mecchas to explore alternative ways for

112
00:07:29,319 –> 00:07:34,759
social economic development of our deir nation. Nigerian She emphasized

113
00:07:34,800 –> 00:07:38,720
the need for youth engagements with stakeholders and policy formuanitors

114
00:07:38,759 –> 00:07:42,040
to position them for the development of the country by

115
00:07:42,079 –> 00:07:45,759
creating an enabling environment for Nigerian youths to thrive in

116
00:07:45,800 –> 00:07:51,600
the digital economy. Alola Oglubi, who represented the Special Assistant

117
00:07:51,680 –> 00:07:56,439
to the President on Youth Initiative, titulopen Bada Mercy, stated

118
00:07:56,519 –> 00:07:59,600
that the Federal government has ruled out several youths and

119
00:07:59,639 –> 00:08:05,240
partners and initiatives for Nigerian needs. Under President Syllable’s administration,

120
00:08:05,839 –> 00:08:09,879
we have rolled out several initiatives at empowering our youths

121
00:08:09,920 –> 00:08:14,519
in the digital space. These include digital literacy campaigns that

122
00:08:14,600 –> 00:08:18,600
are spreading across the nation, the establishment of techhoubs to

123
00:08:18,639 –> 00:08:22,439
foster innovation, and support systems for tech start of that

124
00:08:22,639 –> 00:08:27,439
provide the necessary capital and mentorship to succeed. Our commitment

125
00:08:27,600 –> 00:08:31,360
is unwavering and our goal is clear to create an

126
00:08:31,480 –> 00:08:36,879
enabling environment wherever Nigerian youth can live in the digital economy.

127
00:08:37,200 –> 00:08:41,039
I want all Nigerian youths to seize the opportunities presented

128
00:08:41,080 –> 00:08:45,519
by the digital economy. The future is digital and it

129
00:08:45,559 –> 00:08:48,960
is in your hands. The Federal government is committed to

130
00:08:49,000 –> 00:08:52,320
supporting you every step of the way, providing you with

131
00:08:52,399 –> 00:08:58,240
the tools, resources and opportunities to succeed. She said. An

132
00:08:58,480 –> 00:09:02,440
l see L three Regulations or Lucaya Day charges lawyers

133
00:09:02,519 –> 00:09:06,720
on due diligence. The Executive Chairman of the Economic and

134
00:09:06,879 –> 00:09:11,960
Financial Crimes Commission EFSAC A or LUCAIDA has called on

135
00:09:12,120 –> 00:09:15,519
lawyers across the country to always observe due diligence in

136
00:09:15,600 –> 00:09:20,559
their practices. This, according to him, is necessary for them

137
00:09:20,639 –> 00:09:23,320
to know the background of their clients so as not

138
00:09:23,519 –> 00:09:26,279
to run fall of the Anti Money Laundering and Counter

139
00:09:26,440 –> 00:09:32,759
Terrorism Financing AML city F regulations. Speaking on Tuesday August

140
00:09:32,840 –> 00:09:36,080
twenty seven, twenty twenty four, at a panel discussion on

141
00:09:36,200 –> 00:09:39,639
money laundering during the sixty fourth Annual General Conference of

142
00:09:39,759 –> 00:09:45,120
Nigerian Bar Association NBA Conference twenty twenty four in Legos,

143
00:09:45,639 –> 00:09:49,440
the ef serences was said, as lawyers, we are supposed

144
00:09:49,480 –> 00:09:52,759
to hold a position of trust in our professional conduct.

145
00:09:53,679 –> 00:09:57,519
While we try to comply with international laws and regulations,

146
00:09:58,000 –> 00:10:00,720
we should also know what is right for ourselves so

147
00:10:00,960 –> 00:10:04,279
as to protect the sanctity of our profession, which is

148
00:10:04,519 –> 00:10:09,879
very key. While appreciating the international Conventions against Money laundering,

149
00:10:10,360 –> 00:10:14,559
the EFSA STS chair emphasize that doing the right stain

150
00:10:14,679 –> 00:10:19,440
doesn’t necessarily come from the way of international conventions. If

151
00:10:19,480 –> 00:10:22,720
you do the right things, they will automatically take you

152
00:10:22,879 –> 00:10:26,519
out of the gray list. It is experient on you too.

153
00:10:27,039 –> 00:10:31,159
At least know who your client is. You are expected

154
00:10:31,279 –> 00:10:34,200
to be paid from a legitimate source. If you are

155
00:10:34,279 –> 00:10:37,960
a victim of crimes, you will understand what I am saying.

156
00:10:38,840 –> 00:10:42,679
As lawyers, you must not in any way they will

157
00:10:42,720 –> 00:10:45,919
get or the mean your professional commitment to your clients.

158
00:10:46,759 –> 00:10:49,399
Even a part of the Money Laundering Act that we

159
00:10:49,519 –> 00:10:53,200
have evaluated doesn’t stop me from enforcing the regulations of

160
00:10:53,320 –> 00:10:58,279
the EFCC Act and other financial laws in Nigeria. Speaking

161
00:10:58,399 –> 00:11:02,519
further on looking amphasizes that lawyers were not insulated from

162
00:11:02,600 –> 00:11:06,799
prosecution if the failed to do the right thing. He said,

163
00:11:07,200 –> 00:11:09,960
it is my duty to trust the proceeds of crimes

164
00:11:10,720 –> 00:11:13,879
and if I trust it to you, I will invite

165
00:11:13,919 –> 00:11:16,919
you for questioning and it is your duty to answer

166
00:11:17,039 –> 00:11:21,240
my questions. I mean, why do we talk about edding

167
00:11:21,320 –> 00:11:25,440
and abating crimes? Why do we have accessories before and

168
00:11:25,679 –> 00:11:29,240
after the fact known? This will assist me to determine

169
00:11:29,279 –> 00:11:33,360
your level of culpability or otherwise. We are not saying

170
00:11:33,440 –> 00:11:36,320
