Addressing the gathering, Akpan Ekpo, the Director General of West African Institute for Financial and Economic Management (WAIFEM), buttressed the important link between financial stability and economic growth and development. 'Money laundering is a key threat to financial stability in any economy, more so to small and fragile economies in our sub-region,' Ekpo said.The key objectives of the course included helping participants to develop critical skills in handling money laundering and financial crimes in the region.
The five-day course, organized by WAIFEM, draws participants from Nigeria, Sierra Leone, Ghana, Liberia, Gambia and Malawi.

What of, when the supposed head of State’s himself party to money launder & various economic crimes, gripping & out-manoeuvring the business & economic sectors of a whole country & sub-region??? How come soldiers on public payroll, paid from government coffers, are turned into private farm guards, guiding yaya jammeh’s farato farm & other personal entities within Gambia?? With state guard trucks & other public tools, implements & funds being blatantly utilised for yaya personal gains? Was it yaya jammeh who needed then orientation in this financial crimes training???
