In a heartwarming act of recognition and encouragement, the First Lady of Borno State, Dr. Falmata Babagana Zulum, has honored Faiza Abdullahi, the honest cleaner who recently made headlines after returning a misplaced sum of N4.8 million to its rightful owner. Faiza, who works as a cleaner in Maiduguri, captured the admiration of Nigerians across the country after choosing integrity over personal gain, setting an example of rare honesty in challenging times.
At a special event organized at the Government House in Maiduguri, the First Lady presented Faiza Abdullahi with a cash reward of N1 million, alongside other gifts and promises of continued support from the state government. Dr. Zulum praised Faiza’s remarkable display of integrity, describing her as a beacon of hope and a role model for both young people and adults.
“At a time when many would have made a different choice, Faiza chose truth, honesty, and the fear of God above material wealth. Today, we celebrate her not just for what she did, but for reminding us all that integrity is priceless,” the First Lady said, while presenting the rewards.
The event was attended by women leaders, community stakeholders, and government officials who lauded Faiza’s action as one that has restored faith in humanity. Several organizations and individuals have also pledged additional support, scholarships, and empowerment opportunities for her.
In her emotional response, Faiza Abdullahi thanked the First Lady and the people of Borno for standing by her. She expressed her gratitude and reaffirmed her belief that honesty always pays, urging others never to take what does not belong to them.
Her story continues to inspire millions across Nigeria and beyond, sparking conversations on the value of integrity, moral upbringing, and the importance of celebrating good deeds in society.
