In his opening remarks, Malami charged the Committee to ensure transparency and accountability as they discharge their duties.

He said, the idea that led to the inauguration was President Muhammudu Buhari’s directive in October, 2018 following the recommendations of the Presidential Audit Committees on Recovery and Management of Stolen Assets, for an effective and efficient management of recovered assets, as an interim measure, pending the passage of the proceeds of Crime Bill.

He noted that, “President Buhari approved the composition of the Inter-Ministerial Committee on the Disposal of all Federal Government Forfeited Assets on 27th October, 2020 which we are inaugurating today. The committee has a time frame of six (6) Months for the disposal of all Federal Government Forfeited Assets”

”In compliance with the directives of Mr. President, the office of the HAGF and Minister of Justice issued Asset Tracing, Recovery and Management Regulations (ATRM), 2019 to provide legal and administrative frameworks for the investigation, tracing, seizure and disposal of stolen or illegally acquired assets and proceeds of crime.

Malami revealed that the regulation which was drawn from extant laws of relevant anti- corruption and law enforcement agencies, aimed at ensuring proper coordination of the disposal of FG assets and for promoting a uniform, harmonized and transparent procedure to safeguard the recovery by the relevant agencies in line with the anti-corruption drive of the present administration.

He disclosed that, Members of the Committee were drawn from relevant agencies that deal with the recovery and disposal of FGN’s Assets while the Solicitor General of the Federation (SGF) and Permanent Secretary, FMOJ, Dayo Apata, SAN shall be the Chairman.
