Gov. Ugwuanyi Rewards Woman Who Returned N14M Erroneously Paid To Her (Photos)

In appreciation of the outstanding and exemplary honesty she displayed in returning the sum of thirteen million, nine hundred and forty six thousand, four hundred naira (N13,946,400.00) mistakenly paid into her , Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi of Enugu State, on Tuesday, rewarded Mrs. Josephine Nchetaka Chukwujama-Eze, with a cash of one million naira.

The cash reward was announced by the State Commissioner for Gender Affairs and Social Development, Hon. Princess Peace Nnaji, after a closed-door meeting with the woman in her office.

Mrs. Chukwujama-Eze, a teacher with a mission school in Enugu, is married to Barr. Chukwujama Eze, an indigene of Enugu Ezike, in Igbo-Eze North Local Government Area of Enugu State.

Speaking after the meeting, Hon. Nnaji, who presented the cash to Mrs. Chukwujama-Eze, on behalf of the governor, commended her for being a good ambassador of Enugu State, stressing that “this is the kind of culture we are inculcating in all our women, men, young boys and girls”.
The Commissioner maintained that the woman’s action has earned the women of Enugu State much respect, calling on the public emulate her exemplary honesty.

“What we are witnessing today is heartwarming and thought provoking. It is something memorable and substantial. This is a woman, Mrs. Josephine Chukwujama-Eze, who to the greatest chagrin of so many people had the sum of N13,946,400.00, mistakenly credited to her Bank . And immediately she saw it, she quickly alerted her husband and they went to the bank and returned the money to the rightful owner.

“We all know that times are hard these days, especially with the Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) pandemic. It is not that she is very comfortable; she is a teacher in a mission school and look at what she has done. This is a real character and Enugu State Government wants to appreciate her for what she has done. His Excellency, Gov. Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi has directed that she should be rewarded with the sum of one million naira”, Nnaji said.

Responding, Mrs. Chukwujama-Eze, who was overwhelmed with joy, thanked Gov. Ugwuanyi for the reward, saying: “I so much appreciate this”.

According to her, “I was just being my normal self. I never knew that what I was doing will get to this extent. I did what I feel I should do. I did this just to clear my conscience. Thank you, the Honourable Commissioner for Gender Affairs. Please extend my greatest thanks to His Excellency, our dear Governor”.

Also in his appreciation, the woman’s husband, Barr. Eze, ascribed his wife’s display of honesty to family upbringing and the cultural value of Enugu State and the entire Igbos, pointing out that “it is a demonstration that in Nigeria, there are a lot of good people out there”.

His words: “What we have witnessed today is a life experience which didn’t come by accident. It is a function of family upbringing. We sincerely thank His Excellency, Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi of Enugu State for this recognition. Nigeria is redeemable; Nigerians are good people and I am proud to say this”.

Good,

Big Brother, like all such reality shows, does not have as a primary function the entertainment of its viewers. That is a secondary goal. The main goal is the exploitation of their viewers

nice coming from the woman and the governor bcoz honesty pays alot..
was abt crossing the road to go charge my phone last week when a bike ed me and i heard screams, andbi saw rains of 1k notes on the floor which dropped from the enger's pocket and spilled all over the road and everyone dt noticed it rush to start picking d moni from d floor asif manna jus rained from heaven..
i wasnt left alone and I ed in picking bcox i had only 800h in ma hand and altogether i picked 13 pieces not until a pooiceman said we shud gathee the moni and gv to him incase the man came search it and some people gave him thier "blessing" some sharp gees don hide some on code bt me i jus gave him all and felt stupid after he collected mine bcoz i thought i supposed to hide some too...
he counted all and it was 62k and he gave it to a woman dt owns a shop around n exchange numbers with her incase the owner comes around..
3 hrs letter man came to claim d cash, showed d officer a debit of 80k from zenith as his prove and they gave him back the 62k meaning 18k was missing, he said no probs bcoz he knew it would be hard to recover all and was happy with wat he saw and gave the officer 10k as compensation fee..
a few mins after he left, me and 2 of ma guys met d officer to get our own share of dt moni d man dropped bt the officer ignored us saying dt what we did is normal and its bad to expect moni after serving our father land..
i felt stupid saying i should have helped myself when and ed others in keeping some bt i jus forget abt dt scenery no matter how hard is was bcox i was broke..
few days letter i won niajabet of 45k and was soo happy, maybe its jus a coincidence or a blessing for my honesty..
