The Nigerian Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) announced a whistleblower policy offering 2.5-5% rewards to individuals providing information that helps recover stolen assets held abroad. The policy builds on initiatives dating back to 2016 under President Buhari's administration and has resulted in significant asset recoveries over the years.

◆ The Wire takeaway

You have a new lever to access Nigeria's recovered assets market thanks to enhanced whistleblower rewards. Act on this by exploring partnerships with EFCC or related government units to tap into this incentivised flow of capital disclosure.
