MOHAMMED in a statement said the Federal Government will protect the identity of all whistle-blowers, whether in the public or the private sector, and also ensure that the information they provide is kept secret.
The Minister said cases will be reviewed and appropriate mitigating actions taken for those who may have suffered any backlash as a result of the information they provide.
Alhaji Mohammed said the assurance followed the presentations made to the Presidential Assets Recovery Committee by concerned citizens and groups about the safety of whistle-blowers.
The Minister said any whistle-blower whose information leads to the recovery of up to one billion Naira will receive five per cent of the amount.
