WHIBO APP:

A SECURE WEB-BASED APPLICATION FOR NIGERIAN ANTI-CORRUPTION AGENCIES

Abstract

This study attempts to propose an improved data persistence functionality approach using the application called “WhiBo App” for tackling Nigerian whistle-blowing reporting challenges for Nigerian Anti-corruption agencies which would allow them digitally and technologically to join hand with citizens in the fight against corruption. The application as proposed would provide necessary features and functionalities of gathering corruption tips information from whistleblowers regardless of geographic barriers.  The application was developed using Rapid Application Model (RAD), this method is well known for its flexibility and speed, which allows for frequent iterations and adjustments based on user feedback. The actual implementation may vary depending on the specific tools and technologies used in the web development process. WhiBo app was tested using PHPUunit for unit and acceptance test, and the result indicated that 95% pass successfully and 5 failed, indicating the overall positive performance of the application. The application would provide a centralized means of gathering corruption suspicious information for easy access and analysis of crime data for necessary actions by anti-corruption authorities and finally, The WhiBo App would guaranteed the protection and confidentiality of whistle blowers credentials inline and within the jurisdiction of the law.
