Abstract

The scourge of corruption which has almost eaten up the entire Nigeria’s economy is not in any way a new phenomenon in the country. Series of attempt have been made by Nigeria’s past administration to stop the cankerworm from its manifestation which yielded little or no success. However, the giant stride made by present administration through the introduction of whistle-blowing as a mechanism to fight corruption and other misconduct in Nigeria has been a welcome development in the country. This has given Nigerians the opportunity to expose wrongdoing and all sorts of unethical activities in the society as part of contributing their quotas to the development of the country. The study emphasized on the significant contribution and the role played by whistle-blowers towards the recovery of looted funds in Nigeria.Similarly, the study has discovered that the government can do more by making adequate legal protection for the whistle-blowers in order to encourage them towards their participation
