A security guard at the UBA branch in Oba Akran, who returned a misplaced $10,000 in 2016 has been showered with over 30,000 dollars at the just concluded UBA CEO Award 2017.
The hundreds of people gathered at the UBA CEO Award 2017 at the Eko Hotels and Suites in Lagos gave a standing ovation to the outstanding security man who returned an amount that was more than his annual salary and is now getting rewarded.
Governor of Bauchi state Mohammed Abubakar announced a personal donation of $5,000 to Ibrahim who returned a customer’s $10,000 he found.
Also, Adamawa governor, Bindow Jibrilla upped the ante when he said whatever Bauchi does will be outdone by Adamawa and went on to donate $10,000 cash to be given to the beneficiary this Monday.
Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu, who declared that he will mention the exemplary deed of Ibrahim on the floor of the senate on Tuesday committed the senate to a donation of five million Naira to the security man.
Both the chairman of the UBA, Tony Elumelu and the bank’s GMD, Kennedy Uzoka, praised Ibrahim for what he did and said he is the true spirit of Nigeria and not the contrary narrative often told of Nigerians and criminality.
