A cleaner in Maiduguri, Borno State, Faiza Abdulkadir, has returned ₦4.8 million that was mistakenly credited to her bank account.
Gatekeepers News reports that the National Orientation Agency (NOA) commended her honesty in a statement on Wednesday, describing her act as a rare display of integrity in the face of temptation.
“She suddenly found herself in a situation that put her integrity to the test yet, instead of holding on to it, she chose integrity over temptation,” the NOA said via its official X handle.
The agency noted that in a society where financial hardship often pressures people into wrongdoing, Faiza’s decision stands as an inspiration.
“In a world where poverty often pressures people into compromise, her courage reminds us that true wealth is not measured in money, but in character,” it stated.
The NOA added that Faiza’s story is “a powerful reminder that honesty still shines bright in Nigeria, and that light will never go unnoticed.”
