The suspension of the Governor of
the Central Bank of Nigeria is yet another example of the challenges of whistle blowing
in Nigeria. The CBN governor alleged that there was US$20 billion missing from
the federation account. It is not surprising that a few weeks after the allegations;
he has been suspended from office for blowing the whistle on Nigeria’s missing
billions. This shows the need to have a whistle-blower protection law in Nigeria[see previous blog post]. A whistle blower protection law will protect whistle-blowers like the CBN
governor from being victimized for speaking out on corruption issues.
