These acts which constitutes diverse dimensions of crimes popularly referred to as corruption has obviously eaten deep into the fabrics of virtually every sector of our economy including university education system. It is pathetic but frankly to remark that this imbroglio characterizing the society has remained unabated due to absence of secure reporting line. Hence, the development of Whistle-Blowing System with secure electronic avenue for reporting every act or conduct that contradicts and compromises ethical provisions. It creates seamless link to enroll prospective whistle-blowers, accepts documented reports with verifiable evidence, allows communication with investigators, protects whistle-blower's identity and interfaces them for due rewards. The system development process adopted the object-oriented methodology with its tools such as use-case diagram, sequence diagram and flowcharts. Implementation protocol utilized a combination of Javascript/php/HTML at the front-end while MySQL was engaged at the back-end for appropriate data documentation. It is suited with enormous prospects for assisting management trap down most of the sharp practices and inconsequentialities inherent in most Nigerian universities by accepting user identity, the reports and processes same to specifications.
