Nigerians have warned President Muhammadu Buhari that his administration’s avowed fight against corruption is on a sharp decline owing to the continued lack of a whistleblowing law.
Nigerians and civil society groups have urged President Buhari-led Federal Government and the ninth National Assembly to give the nation a whistleblowing law before leaving office on May 29, 2023.
The Coalition on Audit in Nigeria (CSCAN) has appealed to members of the National Assembly, President Muhammadu Buhari-led executives and other relevant stakeholders to ensure the country gets a new audit law before May 29, 2023.

Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) have once again called on the ninth National Assembly (NASS) to expeditiously enact legislation on whistleblowing in Nigeria before their term of office elapses in May 2023.
Following the undeniable reports of duplication of no fewer than 460 projects and other discrepancies in the 2022 budget, stakeholders have called for immediate reforms against the repetition and over-bloating of projects in the national budget.
The Whistleblowing Advocacy Coalition (WAC) has commended President Muhammadu Buhari for appealing to the National Assembly to “kindly consider and pass” what he described as “the best possible version” of three main anti-corruption bills, namely, the Proceeds of Crime Bill, Whistleblower Bill and Witness Protection Bill.
