Abstract

Growing corruption in Nigeria is a cause of concern for everyone. In order to strengthen the fight against corruption, the government is determined to nip the hydra-headed monster in the bud. In this regard, two anti-corruption agencies have been established and the introduction of a whistleblowing policy has been introduced. Initially, the citizens embraced the policy by blowing the whistle on fraud, bribery, looted public funds/assets, financial misconduct, and other forms of gratification/theft. This yielded fruitful results as stolen public funds and assets that run into billions were recovered. However, rather than intensify their initial zeal to exposé corruption, the citizens' desire to blow the whistle began to wane amidst large-scale corruption. Against this backdrop, this chapter proffers solutions and recommends ways for the government to get Nigerians to actively continue with the whistleblowing policy.
