The First Lady of Borno State, Dr. Falmata Babagana Zulum, has rewarded the cleaner, Faiza Abdulkadir, who returned N4.8 million mistakenly credited to her bank account.
Faiza, who works at the University of Maiduguri Teaching Hospital, earns a monthly salary of N30,000 and caters for her five children and aged mother.
At a special event organized in her honour, Mrs. Zulum presented a cash gift of N1 million to Faiza.
Also, the state Commissioner for Women Affairs, Zuwaira Gambo, announced additional support in the form of vocational equipment and food items for Faiza.
“Her action, especially given her financial challenges, is a rare and inspiring display of integrity, which shows that honesty is not determined by wealth but character,” said Gambo.
Faiza, a resident of Gwange, Zawiyya of Sheikh Ibrahim Saleh, had received an alert of N4.8 million mistakenly transferred to her account by a man from Kebbi State.
