Mr President Encourages Whistle Blower As Part Of Anti-Corruption:Extends it to Arm Possession


The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Malam Garba Shehu, confirmed
anti development to State House correspondents on Wednesday in Abuja.


Shehu noted that the enthusiastic response of Nigerians to the whistle blower policy had boosted the tempo of the anti-corruption crusade of the Buhari administration.

According to him, the government is considering ways of enhancing the structural capacity of the whistle blower mechanism.

He said: “The government is considering empowering the mechanism by either bringing it under the Presidential Advisory Committee Against Corruption or some other body to imbue the process with a strategic national purpose.

“In a word, government thinks that the whistle blower mechanism is too important to be left without a strategic, national direction.”
Shehu commended the zeal and patriotism of Nigerians for responding positively to the whistle blower incentive policy, which was intended to expose hidden looted funds.

According to the presidential aide, no public policy can succeed or go far enough without public support and participation.
“When the citizens realise they are victims of corruption, they may feel encouraged to join the efforts to expose looted funds,” he added.
