The Nigerian Aviation Handling Company Plc (NAHCO Aviance) has rewarded Mr. Auwal Dankode, a staff member, for returning $10,000 he found while cleaning an aircraft in Kano. The reward includes a cash prize, an instant promotion, and an appointment as a NAHCO Brand Ambassador.

Dankode, who was cleaning an Egypt Air MS 878 aircraft when he discovered the money left behind by a passenger, immediately turned it over to the Airline’s Station Manager.

Other NAHCO executives also praised Dankode’s actions. Mr. Adeoye Emiloju, the Chief Financial Officer, noted, “The integrity you’ve displayed is innate to you.” COO Mr. Didier Steullet encouraged Dankode to stay grounded and continue making a positive difference. Dr. Sola Obabori, the Group Executive Director, added that Dankode’s actions have made him a “poster boy” for NAHCO worldwide, especially in a context where the dollar’s value is very high.
