Clarity is the foundation of progress
Where to report corruption or misuse of public funds
Common misconception
Many people believe reporting corruption is useless because "everyone is corrupt" or that there are no real channels.
How it actually works
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) handles corruption cases involving public officials and financial crimes. The Independent Corrupt Practices Commission (ICPC) handles corruption in public offices. Both have complaint portals, state offices, and toll-free lines. The Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB) handles asset declaration violations by public officers. You can report anonymously. Provide as much detail as possible—names, dates, amounts, and any evidence you have.
Why it affects everyday life
Every corruption conviction begins with a report. When citizens don't report, corruption continues unseen. When enough people report the same official, it triggers investigation. Your report may not lead to immediate action, but without it, action is impossible. Reporting also creates pressure for institutions to act.
Key Takeaway
Report corruption to EFCC, ICPC, or CCB. Provide details. Anonymous reporting is possible. Every conviction starts with a citizen's report.
