Zainab Ahmed, minister of
finance, says the federal government has recovered N605 billion through the
implementation of the whistleblower policy.
Ahmed made this known during a
briefing on the ministry’s activities in Abuja, on Thursday.
The whistleblower policy is an
anti-corruption programme that was launched in December 2016. It encourages
individuals to report cases of financial mismanagement or stolen funds.
As of the end of 2018, government
had recovered over N540 billion.
The finance minister described
the whistleblower policy as a huge success, adding that the programme was
ongoing.
“The whistleblower policy of
government subsists and it is still being implemented. The total amount of
collection that has been made through various efforts in the whistleblower
policy is about N605 billion,” she said.
“This is an improvement over the
last amount that was reported.”
