Whistleblowing by definition according to Kunle Obebe is the disclosure by organization members (former or current) of illegal, immoral or illegitimate practices under the control of their employers, to persons or organizations that may be able to effect action
“the disclosure by organization members (former or current) of illegal, immoral or illegitimate practices under the control of their employers, to persons or organizations that may be able to effect action.”
Thus by this definition, the whistle blower is an employee who tells “their employer, a regulator, customers, the police or the media about a dangerous or illegal activity that they are aware of through their work.”
The African Development Bank group has a robust Whistleblowing policy which covers a wide-reaching number of areas namely:
– Unlawful acts or orders requiring violation of a law, gross waste, mismanagement, abuse of authority, substantial and specific dangers to public health or safety;
– Failures to comply with statutory obligations
– Fraud
– Corruption, which means the offering, giving, receiving, or soliciting, directly or indirectly bribes
– Misconduct, which means failure by Bank Personnel to observe the Bank’s rules of conduct or standards of behavior;
The full policy can be accessed and downloaded on the African Development Bank website via: http://www.afdb.org/fileadmin/uploads/afdb/Documents/Policy-Documents/18136242-EN-WHISTLE-BLOWING-POLICY-FINAL-FINAL-WKF.PDF
Several Nigerian banks have implemented dedicated internal whistle blowing policies. In my humble opinion, these are the guys who are (at least publicly) promoting corporate transparency and enhancing good governance. Change they say, begins from the top.
- Sterling Bank
“Staff are encouraged to speak up when faced with information that would help protect the bank’s reputation. An essential attribute of the process is the guarantee of confidentiality and protection of the whistle blower’s identity and rights.”

I think in banks which do not offer a dedicated whistle-blowing channel, whistle blowers can use the following channels:
– Director of Banking Supervision, Central Bank of Nigeria, Central Business District, Cadastral Zone, Abuja, FCT, Nigeria; email – imala@cenbank.org
– KPMG ethics line http://www.kpmg.com/NG/en/IssuesAndInsights/ArticlesPublications/Documents/Forensic%20-Ethics%20Line.pdf
