| President Buhari |
Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari has praised two airport security men who returned a bag full of cash and valuables, pronouncing their behaviour "reflects the new Nigeria that we all desire".
Their act of honesty bowled the president over, who issued a press announcement celebrating the men who chose "to be examples of excellent, honest Nigerians".
The bag, which contained "a good-looking amount of american dollars, smartphone, wrist watch, and other valuables" was by accident dropped by a girl at Lagos airport, in line with a press release issued via the state house.
The security men in question, Francis Emepueaku and Achi Daniel, declined a cash gift for returning the bag and stated "they were merely doing their duties," the press launch stated.
"Honesty remains the quality policy. We ought to exhibit such behaviour in whatever function we discover ourselves, whether high or low," the president stated.
"Nigeria will no longer be a byword for corruption and plundering of public resources. That is the path we have chosen to take, and our country will ultimately get to a new shore," he said.
Mr Buhari won the last election on a platform of combating corruption but has been criticised for the slow progress he’s made.
So Nigeria still have some good elements, this sound so interesting
