President Muhammadu Buhari has commended Aircraftman, ACM Bashir Umar, for returning a lost-but-found sum of 37,000 Euros to the owner.
The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) had few days ago announced its plan to reward Umar, who found and returned the sum of 37,000 Euros to Alhaji Ahmad, the owner of the lost money.
Buhari, in a statement to DAILY POST by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, described such honesty by ACM Umar of the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) Mobile Air Defence Team at the Hajj Camp Market in Kano as “uncommon, patriotic and exemplary,” the President enjoins Nigerians, especially the youth, to emulate such worthy gesture”.
“Honesty and integrity will always remain admirable virtues, notwithstanding challenges before any country,” the President said.
He also applauded the leadership of NAF for its decision to “reward the airman so as to encourage other personnel of the Service to continue to embody attitudes and behaviours that reflect NAF’s core values of Integrity, Excellence and Service Delivery.”
