Nothing must happen to whistle-blowers – NLC tells FG

Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, has called for the protection of whistle blowers helping the government recover looted funds hidden across the country.

President of the Nigeria Labour Congress, Ayuba Wabba, said this on Monday in Abuja.

He spoke during a protest organized by the NLC and the Medical and Health Workers Union of Nigeria over the decision of the Minister of State for Health, Dr. Osagie Ehanire, to reinstate the Chief Medical Director of the Federal Medical Centre, Owerre, Dr. Angela Uwakwem.

Wabba noted that funds recovered from the former NNPC GMD, Andrew Yakubu, was a proof of the position of Labour that systemic corruption remained the bane of development in the country.

He said, “This only justifies our take about systemic corruption as the bane of our development. And until we are able to have a system that is transparent, accountable and hinged on the rule of law, issues of development will continue to elude us, and this social vices will continue to divide us.

“And don’t also think that he is the only person, that is just the person that has been caught, you should imagine that we have many of such cases.

“From the information that we have, I think whistle blowers played a very major role. In all these cases, you will have whistle blowers that have this information, because at the end of the day, it is not the corrupt officer that will carry this big safe. And those are the people that are now giving this information”.
