The Nigerian Aviation Handling Company Plc has rewarded a staff member of the company, Mr. Auwal Dankode, who found and returned $10,000 while cleaning an aircraft in Kano.
According to a statement on Saturday, Kano-born Dankode was hosted at the company’s headquarters at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos for his transparency, honesty and integrity.
Dankode was assigned alongside other colleagues, to clean the MS 878 passenger aircraft operated by Egypt Air, when he found the money left behind by the passenger on seat No 25H, at the Malam Aminu Kano International Airport, MAKIA, last Wednesday.
He promptly turned the money over to the airline’s Station Manager.
The Group Managing Director/CEO of NAHCO, Mr Indranil Gupta, while commending Dankode for being a true NAHCO ambassador, who has put into use the training he received in the company, announced a handsome cash reward, instant promotion and appointment as NAHCO Brand Ambassador, the statement from the company noted..
Gupta, who led the management team in appreciating the staff member said, “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.”
The GMD added, “We celebrate your being and we want this to be just the beginning. Let the values which your family has instilled, guide you and groom you into ideal leader, which everyone will be proud of.”
The CEO pointed out that the majority of NAHCO staff exhibit these values in their everyday work in the Company.
“We urge you to continue working the same way with very high integrity, diligence and continue being a good NAHCO ambassador,” Gupta said.
Also speaking on the occasion, the Chief Financial Officer of NAHCO, Mr. Adeoye Emiloju, commended Dankode for exhibiting high integrity.
“The integrity you’ve displayed is not something that anyone can pretend to have. You’ve shown that it is something that is in you,” Emiloju pointed out.
The COO, Mr. Didier Steullet, also encouraged Dankode to stay on the good path.
Steullet said: “What you have done is very good. You’re the example not only of the week but probably of the year. My only recommendation is that please keep going on the same way. Remain yourself and don’t get carried away with the adulation that you are receiving on social media. You need to remain grounded and make a difference in the world. Stay on the nice side of the ‘force’ and your life will be good.”
Group Executive Director, Dr. Sola Obabori added, “You’ve become a poster boy of NAHCO not only in Nigeria but all over the world because the internet makes things global. You have done something that makes us proud. In today’s Nigeria, where the value of a dollar is so very high, by returning so many of them, you’ve done something commendable. For you to have seen something as valuable, and give it up, it shows that you’re a man, who has purity of heart. This is very commendable and appreciated. Every well-meaning Nigerian will appreciate what you have done.”
As a brand ambassador, Dankode would grace all NAHCO major events anywhere in the country, promote its brand and have the chance to travel and interact with top officials and stakeholders of the company.
