He urged the implementation of transparent and accountable oversight mechanisms.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Aliyu hailed the AARP-FORUM as a landmark initiative, promoting collaboration, sharing of best practices, and unified advocacy on asset recovery. He outlined next steps, including capacity-building workshops, a digital asset tracing platform, and diplomatic engagements with global institutions such as the UN.<\/p>\n<p>The Forum resolved to ensure that all recovered funds are tracked, audited, and reinvested into key development sectors like education, health, infrastructure, and youth empowerment.<\/p>\n<p>The initiative marks a significant step in implementing the Common African Position on Asset Recovery (CAPAR), which was launched in Arusha, Tanzania, in November 2024. Nigeria, through the ICPC, continues to lead Africa\u2019s anti-corruption efforts on the global stage.<\/p>\n<p>In his closing remarks, Dr. Aliyu declared, \u201cThis is a call to action. Africa must reclaim its wealth, assert its sovereignty, and lead the fight against financial crimes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Nigeria<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Nigeria.
