The Nigerian Senate has passed a bill to protect whistleblowers.
The bill, titled Witness Protection Programme (Establishment etc), SB 157, was passed today following a report submitted by the committee on human rights, legal matters and judiciary chaired by David Umaru (APC-Niger). The Bill was sponsored by Isiaka Adeleke, the Osun West APC Senator who died in April.
Speaking after the bill was passed, deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu, who presided, thanked his colleagues for the bill, which he said, was in honour of the deceased Adeleke. The bill must also be passed by the House of Representatives and signed by the president to be law.
