Nigeria and the West African region have recorded a significant milestone in the global anti-fraud space, with the election of David Nkang Odu to the Board of Regents of the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners (CFE).

Odu became the first Nigerian and West African to be elected to the board, which serves as the governing body of the world’s largest anti-fraud organisation.

According to a statement, the development came ahead of the 2026 ACFE Global Fraud Conference scheduled to be held in Boston, USA, where the induction is expected to be formally recognised.
