The Federal
Executive Council has approved the Ministry of Finance Whistleblowing Programme
that may see individuals, who voluntarily volunteers credible information on
stolen or concealed funds, smiling home with between 2.5 per cent and five per
cent of the funds when recovered.
The Minister of
Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed; Minister of Finance, Kemi
Adeosun; and the Minister of Power, Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola,
disclosed this to newsmen at the end of
the meeting presided over by President Muhammadu Buhari.
Adeosun said the
programme was designed to encourage anyone with information about a violation,
misconduct or improper activity that impacted negatively on Nigerians and
government, to report such.
The minister said
the programme would serve as a stop-gap till a bill on the same matter,
presently before the National Assembly, was passed into law.
