It’s no secret that a new lucrative profession seems to be
emerging in the Nigerian landscape, as sad as it is “Whistle blowing “has
become the next best thing.
With the disgraceful looting of funds by our
corrupt public officials, the Ministry of Finance launched an effective whistleblowing programmeseveral months ago.
The initiative
was birthed as a means of helping the nation get useful information aims by rewarding
anyone who can provide information on stolen or concealed public assets.
So far
this practice seems to be yielding positive result, with millions of naira
discovered in abandoned luxury flats and graveyards the big picture of how massive
the looters seem to have robbed the nation’s purse is now clear.
Now that
we are retrieving these funds the big question seems to be what will be done to
the perpetrators and how will these funds be utilized?

and Nairametrics has provided an itemized
breakdown of funds discovered since 2015
