Garba Shehu, Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and
Publicity when he spoke with State House correspondents Wednesday
said that the government is considering ways of enhancing the structural
capacity of the whistle-blower mechanism. He said:..
“In a word, government thinks that the whistle-blower mechanism is too
important to be left without a strategic, national direction”.
Garba Shehu continued to say:
“No public policy can succeed or go far enough without public support
and participation. When the citizens realise they are victims of
corruption, they may feel encouraged to join the efforts to expose
looted funds”.
Shehu explained that the recovery of huge amounts of looted funds
through the efforts of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission
(EFCC) and whistle-blowers “is a revelation about the mindless, callous
and reckless scale on which Nigeria had been robbed by unpatriotic and
egregiously selfish public officials”.
