Mrs. Josephine Agwu presented with a cheque at the Sun Newspaper Awards in Lagos
It's yet another day of smiles for Mrs. Josephine Agwu, the
airport cleaner who found $28,000 and returned other foreign currencies
totaling about N12 million after it was misplaced early last year.
The woman was honoured with other 19 eminent Nigerians at the 2015 Sun Newspaper awards held in Lagos. Agwu bagged the ‘Sun Nigerian Hero 2015 award,’
which was accompanied with a cheque of N500,000 and an additional
N100,000 for her rare display of honesty and discipline at a time some
Nigerians were grabbing the headlines for the wrong reasons.
She revealed that she was subjected to mockery from colleagues,
friends and families for returning the N12m at a time her salary was
N7,800 for a 12-hour day job. However, she is not regretting what she
did as her rewards are now coming in full.
The woman who expressed surprise at the awards and the favour
following her since the act, thanked God for his mercies. Agwu who is
from Obonkpa, Nsukka Local Council of Enugu State advised Nigerians to
always be truthful, honest and to be contented with what they have.
