The Federal Government has approved a new policy on whistle blowing that aims to encourage Nigerians to report financial and other related crimes to relevant authorities.
The highlight of the policy is that whistleblowers whose revelations lead to recovery of money will be entitled to as much as 5 per cent of the recovered sum.
The new policy was approved Wednesday at the meeting of the Federal Executive Council , chaired by President Muhammadu Buhari inside the Council Chamber of the Aso Rock Villa.
The Minister of Finance, Kemi Adeosun, who announced the new policy to State House correspondents, said it is being put in place “in conjunction with the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice”.
She said the policy is a stop gap initiative until the National Assembly formally passes a law on whistle blowing.
She said the new programme encourages Nigerians with information on financial crimes to disclose it.
She said the aim is to strengthen the fight against corruption by the Buhari administration.
She said anyone who provides information leading to the recovery of fund will be entitled to not more than five per cent of the recovered sum.
Ms. Adeosun said the government will set up a website and provide a phone number and email for people to use.
She said anonymity and protection of whistleblowers will also be guaranteed. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

ReplyDeleteThe grand plan to set Nigerians against each other.
Report anyone you think made money illegally and earn 5% of his loot.
Blow the whistle on your neighbor , your friend , your enemy , your brother , your parents etc
It is now obvious without doubt that Kemi Adeosun and Co have run out of ideas on
how to run the Nigeria economy.
Only a character like late Idi Amin of Uganda can make such pronouncement.
ReplyDeletepoliticians should beware of personal assistants, they will likely blow the whistle on you on the long run.
