2022
Nigeria Sanctions Committee machinery, reporting via the NFIU
Reporting entities with sanctions and terrorist-financing obligations
Curated, versioned & cross-mapped
The obligation, plainly.
The TPPA 2022 carries Nigeria's counter-terrorist-financing regime: the offences, the targeted financial sanctions machinery, asset freezing without delay, and the reporting duties that sit alongside the AML statute.
For institutions the operational core is screening and speed: lists applied at onboarding and in payment flows, true matches frozen and reported immediately, and the evidence trail intact for every decision either way.
Where programmes are tested.
Sanctions screening
Designated lists screened at onboarding and on transactions, with match handling evidenced.
Freezing without delay
The mechanics to freeze and report immediately when a true match is found.
Reporting
TF-related suspicions and actions reported through the NFIU channel.
Curated once, evidenced continuously.
- TPPA obligations are curated with the AML set, so screening, freezing and reporting controls carry statute and circular at once.
- Requirements resolve to shared controls: implement a control once and it counts toward every framework it maps to.
- Status is evidence-gated: a requirement can't be marked implemented without valid, in-date evidence behind it.
- Every attestation carries maker/checker, and every action lands in an append-only audit trail.
TPPA 2022, asked plainly.
The questions compliance teams actually ask before an adoption decision or an audit.
What does the TPPA require of financial institutions?
Screening customers and transactions against designated lists, freezing the assets of true matches without delay, and reporting terrorist-financing suspicions and actions through the NFIU channel, with the whole chain evidenced.
What does freezing without delay mean?
Immediately upon a confirmed match to a designation, without waiting for a court order or notifying the customer. The operational bar is hours, not days, which is why match-handling workflows and authority to act must be established before the match happens.
Which sanctions lists apply?
The UN consolidated list and Nigeria's domestic designations under the Act's machinery, screened at onboarding and against payment flows. List updates must propagate quickly; a stale list is an unscreened list.
How does the TPPA relate to the MLPPA?
They are the twin statutes of the financial-crime regime: the MLPPA carries money laundering, the TPPA terrorism financing and targeted sanctions. They share the NFIU reporting spine and, in practice, the same screening and monitoring controls.
