Lagos – The Nigerian Aviation Handling Company Plc (NAHCO) has recognized one of its employees, Auwal Ahmed Dankode, for his outstanding honesty in returning a missing sum of $10,000 he found while cleaning an aircraft at the Malam Aminu Kano International Airport (MAKIA) in Kano.
Dankode, who discovered the money on Egypt Air’s MS 878 flight, promptly handed it over to the airline’s station manager. His commendable action earned him accolades from NAHCO and the National Orientation Agency (NOA), which named him the Nigerian for the week.
“We are truly proud of the exemplary character exhibited by Auwal”
“He is a true NAHCO ambassador and an embodiment of what NAHCO stands for – honesty, integrity, diligence, and hard work”, said NAHCO’s Group Managing Director and CEO, Mr. Indranil Gupta.
At a special event held at NAHCO’s headquarters, Dankode was honored with several rewards, including a substantial cash prize, an instant promotion, and his appointment as a NAHCO brand ambassador.
Dankode expressed gratitude for the recognition and pledged to continue upholding the values that earned him the accolades. As a newly appointed brand ambassador, he will represent NAHCO at major events across the country, promoting its brand and engaging with key stakeholders.
NOA praised Dankode’s honesty, encouraging Nigerians, especially the youth, to emulate his conduct. His exemplary behavior has set a high standard for integrity and honesty in the workplace.
