Auwal Ahmad Dankode, a staff of NAHCO, has been given a letter of recommendation, a promotion and a cash gift for returning $10,000 (about N16 million) that a passenger on seat No 25H left in an aircraft.

Dankode found the whopping sum of money while cleaning the MS878 aircraft, run by Egypt Air, in Kano and immediately returned it to the airline station manager.

Daily Trust reported that Dankode was hosted by his company at its headquarters in Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA) in Lagos.

His employer also celebrated him on X.

The GMD/CEO of NAHCO, Mr Indranil Gupta, hailed Dankode's honesty and integrity.

"...The GMD/CEO, Mr. Indranil Gupta, praised Auwal's honesty and integrity, noting that his actions serve as a shining example for others.

"As a reward for his honesty, Auwal received a letter of commendation, a promotion, and cash gifts from NAHCO," @nahco_aviance wrote on X.

Apart from his employer, Dankode's honest act earned him commendations from many people, including Labour Party's Presidential Candidate, Peter Obi.
