Federal Government Launches ‘Wahala Dey’ Anti-Corruption Mobile App For Whistle Blowing

The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) has launched a mobile application that will enhance anonymous whistle blowing for corrupt practices occurring both within government and in the private sectors.

The chairman of ICPC, Ekpo Nta who launched the App in Abuja on February 13, 2017, stated that criminal activities can only thrive when an opportunity to act is provided. 

The App called ‘Wahala Dey’ is available on android mobiles, blackberry mobiles and windows mobiles and can be downloaded at no cost to users.

Nta said, “Corruption is a global and cross boarder problem that has far-reaching consequences on nations and societies. Nigeria is not an exception. As we grapple with the challenges of reducing corruption in the polity, we must recognize that this criminal activity thrives on opportunity to commit the act.

Nta described the launch of the App as one in-line with the commission’s drive towards harnessing technological solutions to fighting corruption in Nigeria.

Nta said "We champion the provision of technological solutions to corruption, one of which is the recently launched e-portal pssp.gov.ng for greater transparency and accountability in Nigeria’s ports sector.
