The Federal Government on Tuesday reiterated its commitment to reward and protect whistle-blowers who provided information that led to recovery of stolen funds or assets.

He said the whistle-blower policy had worked everywhere it had been used because it plays straight to the basic human instinct for much gain with less drain.

In the goodwill message he delivered at the Eagle Square, Abuja, he said most of the corrupt activities that go on in ministries are not without the knowledge of the workers.

“The government is considering empowering the mechanism by either bringing it under the Presidential Advisory Committee Against Corruption, PCAC or some other body to imbue the process with a strategic national purpose.

“I personally assure you that throughout my tenure, I will do everything possible to protect whistleblower in the ministry, because the agenda of the government is a clear one that will embrace whistle blower,” he said.
