FG Approves New Whistle Blower Bill

The Federal Government has approved a new Whistle Blower draft bill.

Minister of Finance, Budget and National Planning, Zainab Ahmed, disclosed this after the Federal Executive Council meeting, chaired by Vice President Yemi Osinbajo.

Ahmed stated that the Council approved the draft bill to strengthen the fight against corruption and protect whistleblowers that provide helpful information to the Federal government.

The Whistleblower Protection Act, facilitated through the Federal Ministry of Finance, provides legal cover for individuals who voluntarily expose acts of fraud, bribery, looted government funds and assets, financial misconduct and other forms of corruption.
