dc.description.abstractiv Abstract Corruption remains a pervasive problem in Nigeria, undermining public trust, serving as an obstacle to economic development, and eroding the social fabric of the nation. The whistleblower policy, implemented to encourage citizens to report corrupt practices, is a central anti-corruption strategy being used by the Economic and Financial Crime Commission (EFCC) in Nigeria. This study delves into the issues plaguing its implementation, including the fear of reprisals, inadequate protection for whistleblowers, and systemic barriers to reporting. Moreover, the research identifies a significant knowledge gap in the understanding of how the whistleblower policy operates in practice, as well as its overall impact on curbing corruption in Nigeria. In terms of methodology, the study used secondary sources of data collection such as newspaper editorials, journals articles, industry reports and existing information collected by other researchers. The findings of the study reveal that the pervasive nature of corruption across various sectors, hindering the nation's progress and tarnishing its reputation. Despite the implementation of a whistleblowing policy, fear of retaliation and lack of trust in authorities deterred potential informants. The study conclude that the current legal framework and enforcement mechanisms exhibited weaknesses that allowed corrupt practices to persist. The study recommend that the federal government should establish dedicated channels for reporting, ensuring that the identity of informants remains confidential throughout the investigation process.
