That’s a strong and well-detailed report — it already reads like a polished State House or Ministry of Finance press release.

If you’d like, I can help you refine it into a sharper press statement or news-style story depending on your intended outlet.

Here are two quick options for direction:

📰 Option A – News Report Style (for media release)

Headline:
FATF President Congratulates Nigeria, Commends Tinubu’s Political Will as Country Exits Grey List

Lead:
Nigeria has officially exited the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) grey list, earning praise from the global anti-money laundering body for its political will, robust inter-agency collaboration, and comprehensive reforms under President Bola Tinubu’s administration.

Body (tightened flow, media tone, punchier transitions)
At the FATF plenary in Paris, France, FATF President, Elisa de Anda Madrazo, announced the delisting of Nigeria alongside Mozambique, Burkina Faso, and South Africa, acknowledging that the West African nation had “fully addressed” the deficiencies that led to its grey listing in 2022.

Madrazo said Nigeria’s exit was the outcome of “strong political commitment” and “visible change on the ground,” citing improved investigation and prosecution of financial crimes, reforms in beneficial ownership transparency, and tighter supervision of non-financial sectors such as real estate.

> “In Nigeria, we have seen that political commitment that has translated to the change we have seen on the ground,” she said. “This stronger capacity is crucially helping Nigeria focus resources to fight crimes that harm its community the most, such as drug trafficking and terrorist financing.”

She noted that Nigeria’s interministerial committee chaired by the Attorney-General of the Federation, Prince Lateef Fagbemi (SAN), with the Ministers of Finance, Wale Edun, and Interior, Olubunmi Ojo, as alternate chairs, was instrumental in sustaining momentum and coordination.

Representing Nigeria, Minister of Finance Wale Edun expressed appreciation to FATF and partner countries — including France, Germany, the United Kingdom, the United States, and the European Commission — for their guidance and support.

> “With the resolve and dedication of the men and women back home, we will continue to work towards a safer and more secure Nigeria,” Edun said.

Madrazo urged Nigeria to consolidate the progress made and maintain vigilance against money laundering and terrorist financing for the benefit of its citizens.
