These fatal effects corruption has produced and will continue to produce if left unchecked, has propelled successive Nigerian governments to devise strategies and policies to decisively tackle corruption with the aim of reducing it as much as possible. The necessitating factor for this research, however, is that despite these efforts, the problem of corruption still persists in Nigeria with insinuations that it is getting even worse. This study, therefore examines the impact of the whistle-blowing policy on the fight against corruption in Nigeria; From the findings of this work, the whistle blowing policy has not had the desired impact on the country\u2019s anti-corruption crusade. This work, therefore, recommends, among other things, that the whistle blowers should be given adequate legal and security protection and adequate public awareness be embarked upon to educate the people of the need to expose corrupt individuals.<\/p>\n<h2>Authors<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>NIMCHAK NANSAK  EMMANUEL (UNIVERSITY OF JOS)<\/li>\n<li>MOSES DANJUMA  BOT (UNIVERSITY OF JOS)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Keywords<\/h2>\n<p>Corruption, Whistleblowing, Nigeria, EFCC<\/p>\n<h2>References<\/h2>\n<p>References not available for this article.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This article was originally published as: IMPACT OF THE WHISTLEBLOWING POLICY IN THE FIGHT AGAINST CORRUPTION IN NIGERIA Original Article&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":21,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[124],"tags":[1912,3491,534,3490],"class_list":["post-6370","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-articles","tag-corruption","tag-efcc","tag-nigeria","tag-whistleblowing","wpcat-124-id"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.8 -
