Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

WHISTLEBLOWER AS VICTIMIntegrity, Power, and Survival in Nigeria's Public ServiceWhat happens when doing the right thing comes at a personal cost?In Whistleblower as Victim, Joseph Babatunde Akeju takes readers inside his remarkable journey through Nigeria's public service, from a childhood shaped by discipline, truth and accountability to a distinguished career as an accountant, lecturer and public financial manager.At the heart of this compelling memoir is his experience at Yaba College of Technology, where he served as Bursar and worked to strengthen financial controls, professional standards, accountability and responsible management of public resources. His commitment to these principles eventually brought him into conflict with institutional authorities, leading to whistleblowing, professional isolation, dismissals, legal battles and significant personal hardship.Yet this is more than a story of conflict. It is a powerful reflection on integrity, courage, professional ethics, institutional accountability and the human cost of speaking truth to power.Through personal experiences, documented events and supporting evidence, Akeju examines difficult questions about public service: Can integrity survive where systems are weak? Who protects those who speak up? What happens when accountability becomes a threat rather than a shared responsibility? And how can institutions create an environment where truth and ethical conduct are protected?Ultimately, Whistleblower as Victim is a story of perseverance and conviction-a reminder that integrity is not simply something to profess, but something to live by, even when the cost is high.A thought-provoking read for public servants, accountants, financial managers, students, professionals, policymakers, researchers and anyone interested in governance, accountability and the fight for institutional integrity.
