Josephine Ugwu, a National Diploma graduate of Our Saviour Institute of Science, Agriculture and Technology, Enugu, who works for Patovilki Cleaning Services, a company engaged by FAAN to keep Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos clean, has been rewarded with a sum of N7,200 salary increment.
Ugwu who earns N7,800 before now earns N15,000.
However her colleagues who spoke on her behalf have said it is a big shame that the Government heard about her noble gesture and ignored it instead of rewarding her bountifully to encourage other Nigerians to be honest.
According to a colleague some people have called her a fool for returning the N12m she found in local and foreign currencies to the owner, and now it looks like she really acted foolishly because she got no reward per say, a colleague said.
The Nigerian Government on Tuesday rewarded her, with an apartment and an award for her honesty.
The government said it gave Ugwu the apartment and award in recognition of her integrity in the discharge of her duties.
The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria offered her a job in one of its departments, Aviation Security.
On Tuesday in Abuja, Ugwu had a handshake with President Muhammadu Buhari where she received the award.
