The amount which she found inside a nylon, according to The Guardian, is equivalent to N2 million. She gave it in to security officials at the terminal. The report said the cleaner, an employee of Lakewood Development Company, was working at the departure wing of the airport when she saw the nylon from the floor.

It looked dirty and rough, you won’t know it is money that was inside it. “I picked it, felt some notes inside and took it to the customer care. I was given a glove to bring out the contents and I counted 60 pieces of $100 dollar bills,” she said. The report said when she was asked how she was rewarded for her honesty, she said: “Nobody gave me anything, the manager, company or even the owner who later came back looking for the money. I am however, not discouraged as I do my best to do a good job with clear conscience. “This is not the first time I am picking up forgotten items like wallets, phones, small bags and even money. I have always returned them to the frontline desk or customer care desk.” In 2014, another airport cleaner, Josephine Agwu, found and returned N12 million left at the toilet and was rewarded. The head of the organisation where Charity works, Sam Nchezor, said the management was happy with her honesty and is set to appreciate her gesture.

What could only happen is to indict everybody working there, but we thank her for her honesty, for picking up the money and handing it over to the management of ASL. “We are going to compensate her, give her some money and also increase her salary. It is left for the management of ASL and Federal Airport Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) to reward her. We are proud of her,” he said.

This was made known at the award ceremony at Government House Kogi state over the weekend when the governor received Fatima and her relatives, alongside Barrister Natasha Akpoti. Speaking at the event, the governor lamented a situation where academic excellence has not been given the requisite reward in Nigeria. Governor Bello grants scholarship to best graduating student from law school Governor Bello, Ms Fatima Sani and Barrister Akpoti during their meeting over the weekend. Photo credit: Akpoti's Facebook page PAY ATTENTION: Read the news on Nigeria’s #1 news app He said: “The case of Fatima Sani reminds me of how academic excellence has not been adequately rewarded in Nigeria. Imagine someone that bagged nine separate awards including Best Student of the Year and Council of Education Star Award, and nothing was done for her since 2015.” The governor also specially thanked Barrister Akpoti for taking up the case of Sani by starting an awareness campaign about her academic feat. “I thank Barrister Natasha Akpoti for this if not we won’t all be gathered here,” he said. NAIJ.com gathered that it was Barrsiter Natasha Akpoti, who sought the intervention of the Kogi state governor to acknowledge the academic exploits of Fatima. The governor was said to be not only surprised but disappointed that Fatima was left unsupported while no information was brought to his office concerning her case. “I heard about your exceptional performance at the Nigerian Law School in 2015 and assumed you were recognized and sponsored by the administration of the day. It’s unacceptable that such brilliance is not celebrated and promoted. “Nevertheless, now that your genuine self is before me, I shall grant you a personal scholarship to celebrate your exceptionalism and help your career-defining goals,” the governor said. He informed that after some inquiries and validation of Fatima's credentials, he has facilitated a full scholarship for Fatima to study Masters in Finance Law at the Colombian Law School, in the United States of America. Governor Bello further thanked Barrister Akpoti for her humanitarian efforts in bringing Fatima’s issue to his notice while urging Fatima to uphold her academic excellence and make Nigeria proud and return home to serve her fatherland. In her remarks, Barrister Akpoti thanked the governor for his benevolence and penchant for promoting academic excellence. “We must celebrate heroes like Fatima in other to motivate young people especially girls towards exceptional educational performances,” she said. She equally advised Fatima to go for her studies and come back to contribute her quota to the development of Kogi state and Nigeria while being a source of inspiration to others. Barrister Natasha Akpoti had through her social media pages consistently advocated for sponsorship to help Fatima further her academic dreams having emerged as the best graduating student at the 2015 Bar exam where she bagged nine separate awards including “Best Student of the Year and Council of Education Star Award.” READ ALSO: Nigerians react as DSP Michael Nwokolo's numerous qualifications emerge online (photos) About a month ago, Governor Bello increased the bursary allowance of Kogi state indigenes in tertiary institutions by 300 percent with immediate approval of payment to registered students for the 2017/2018 academic session.
