I think Recognition is on the way for her.

A National Honor/Award will be proper for her since this is not her first time to display such rare qualities.

GOD Bless you!!!

Crazy! Bullshyte! We live in a world where you get ridiculed for doing good and eulogised for evil deeds!

7, 800 was her initial salary for 30 days cleaning in an airport Change is all we need.

this woman dull me i swaer







if na me

The salary is unbelievable! In Lagos? Airport worker? How come?

Pls the government should at least reward her with a better job. Or else I am coming to take her away for a better job. Which kind thing be this abeg?

With this, They are not encouraging other cleaners to return money to the owners when found.

[quote author=DAVECENA post=31730573]Josephine Ugwu, the airport cleaner who returned a passenger’s luggage containing local and foreign currencies to the tune of N12m has been rewarded with a N7,200 salary increment.

Ugwu, who works for Patovilki Cleaning Services, a concessionaire engaged by the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria tokeep the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos clean, was on a monthly salary of N7,800 before the incident.

The National Diploma graduate of Our Saviour Institute of Science, Agriculture and Technology, Enugu, now enjoys a N7,200 salary increment, bringing her new salary to N15,000.During a visit to the airport on Monday,PUNCH Metro interacted with Ugwu’s colleagues who expressed disappointment that such act of uncommon integrity was not noticed by the government.

They argued that a society that was quick to mete out punishment to offenders should also be quick to reward exemplary behaviour. Speaking on the condition of anonymity, one of Ugwu’s colleagues lamented that the government did not have a culture of rewarding and encouraging exemplary behaviour.

She said:“Some people have abused her and called her a fool for returning the bag. It now looks as if what she did was wrong. Most people will not be motivated to follow her lead when faced with similar situation. The government should have, at least, sent her a commendation letter for what she did.”Another colleague, identified simply as Faith, also expressed disappointment.

She said Ugwu had returned passengers’ luggage with money in them for a record third time and all three had gone unnoticed. She said:“Twice in December 2014, she returned passengers’ luggage with huge sums of money in them. One contained about N600,000 and the other had close to N2m.if it were to be a case of stealing and she was caught, I am sure the government would have been quick to send her to jail.”Ugwu, however, said she had no regrets for what she did, but would not mind being compensated. She said:“I believe that a good name is better than riches.

This incident has taken my name far and wide and I am happy that it is for a good cause. God’s reward is the ultimate, but if the government will give me a proper job as promised, I will be happy.

My company on its part has tried and I am grateful for the management’s action. My salary has been increased and I have also been promoted.”Mrs. Eunice Anumudu, Ugwu’s supervisor at the airport, praised her integrity and uprightness, saying that Ugwu had become a role model, not only for her colleagues, but for all Nigerians.“What she did is worthy of emulation. Many people in her shoes would have done otherwise. She is a role model to her colleagues and to all Nigerians. I will be happy if the government can do something to encourage her,” she said.

I am sure she didn't know the content of the bag... Nigerians don't dull themselves anymore!

OGeeKush:
hmmm.. good for her?

with this kind of pathetic gratitude, now tell me, what will she or others do when they find themselves in her shoes another time?

she would return it over and over again, she didnt return it to b rewarded. though, I dont think I wd return such sha.

Going by that increament

She now earns 15000

in a year she earns 180000 in a private firm

She will earn 21 Million in 66 years time and they wonder why Nigerians lack integrity. When integrity is never rewarded as it should be.

What happened to
1.offering her a Govt appointment she could do so that she can earn a bit above minimum wage
2. Giving her national honour on grounds of integrity instead of sharing it among thieves (politicians) and prostitutesss in nollywood.

Hmmmm,wat can I say to dis









she said good name is beta than riches (shoro niyen)

ok

Olanight:
S

At least this teach people to be good.

Although, the above is man reward, for giving the said amount to his management God will reward her in a double.....

If it were up to me....... I would give her enough money to start up something.

The people she returned the money to are ingrates that is if they didn't show appreciation to the poor woman. They would have lost all the money if not for her honesty.

Nawaooo...
Who is even the owner of the returned 12 million naira or are we not supposed to know?
The person should also compensate and appreciate this honest woman.

let's just say her employers have done their bit..the onus is now on the F.G to pick up their slack...

#shoroniyen??

Great, so 1,666 months to make 12 million

michealsolola:
she said good name is beta than riches

thats in the U.S.A not here in nigeria

and wat did.d person.who she returned d money to giv her?...

That's rare

Her action was uncommon so, uncommom favours from God shall follow her.

#7,200?

Na wa oo!

Stealin surely pays oo!

Next news...
Expectin d Otuoke clown prince to reward d faithful, patriotic woman jez for 2015 election tinz

That's unfair gaskiya

Don't worry, after the dust dies down, they will start paying her the normal rate like before. No be Nigeria we dey?


But wait o...this woman saw N12m and returned it? Josephine Ugwu? An IGBO woman? Where are those monkeys who come to NL to rant about igbo people and their love for money?

ruffhandu:
Nigeria!
Did the owner of the money not 'appreciate' her? If he didn't, then that's not fair.
For her level, she has received a fair pay raise, double, and a promotion.
The Ugwu lady said it all, she's happy with her company's management, she prefers integrity to riches, but she wouldn't mind if the govt offers her a better job.
Some people would, like some of her colleagues have said, not return the money if in her shoes. But the truth is, not returning the money would be attended with grave consequences, noticed or unnoticed at this time, which ultimately may lead to a greater loss, or even death.

So, I expect even private employers to go after such character and offer her a better job, not just the government: because such quality brings one before Kings and Princes, not before mean men. I think her employer has encouraged her, it is now left for 'other parties', which include you and I, to encourage her. Doing the opposite of what she did is never a good option.

u dont understand.people like her are in the field of lamido sanusi, soludo, bert nnaji, anduaka, farida waziri, ruqoyyat rufai etc and can not get properly rewarded in this govt,

Dolemite:
I wouldn't have returned that money! and if I was careless to loose such money I wouldn't expect it back.

Amen to that

there is dignity in labour...since she did it for God and not d reward...i blv greener days ahead for her..

Buchukwu:
I don't care what other people think but this woman right here is Stu.pid and should be killed!!

Most stupid woman I have ever seen, she ought to be killed cos she is just wasting our oxygen and she is addicted to poverty.

Just thinking :
1. Any investigation on 12m cash being moved around?
2. If I become president of this country (in 2035) this lady will get national honours
3. NLC don't read papers now because there is no political undertone or benefit for acting.
4. God go bless her nyafu nyafu

foolish woman.
