Case of Whistleblowing in the University of Nigeria
Education fraud occurs when a school or university violates
federally mandated standards or the Higher Education Act (HEA) to
increase profits. Ruthless administrators cheat the system by
enrolling more students or cutting costs. These schemes will
eventually exert their burden on taxpayers as unqualified students
whose grades were artificially inflated will fail to repay their
loans. Blowing the whistle against this type of fraudulent
practices help the government uncover those who prey on youths who
want to receive an education to improve their lives.

He/015A4Health
Case of Whistleblowing in the Nigerian Hospitals
Primary care includes frontline services like GP surgeries,
dentists, opticians and pharmacies. Most primary care
organisations are relatively small. This can pose difficulties
when it comes to whistleblowing as it raises employees’ worries of
being identified as the whistleblower. Staff in the primary care
sector can choose to report their concerns to their appointed
Freedom to Speak Up guardian or directly to NHS England. Since
April 2016, NHS England has been classed as a prescribed person
under the Public Interest Disclosure Act 1998. The act sought to
protect whistleblowers.
