The Nigerian Aviation Handling Company Plc (NAHCO Aviance) has rewarded a staff member of the company, Mr. Auwal Dankode, who found and returned $10,000 while cleaning an aircraft in Kano.
This is just as the man, who was hosted at the headquarters of the company at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA) in Lagos, declared that no one in his area had ever worked at the airport.
He expressed his great appreciation to the management of NAHCO for giving him the opportunity. He said: “No one in my area has ever worked at the airport. I am very grateful to NAHCO for the training they gave us and also for the opportunity to work and earn a decent living.
I am greatly thankful to the NAHCO management for the honour and recognition of my effort.” Dankode was assigned alongside other colleagues to clean the MS 878 operated by Egypt Air, when he found the money left behind by the passenger on seat No 25H.
He promptly turned the money over to the airline’s station manager. The Group Managing Director/CEO of the Company, Mr Indranil Gupta, while commending Dankode for being a true NAHCO ambassador, who has put into use the training he received in the company, announced a cash reward, instant promotion and appointment as NAHCO Brand Ambassador, a statement from the company said.
Gupta, who led the management team in appreciating the staff, said: “We are truly proud of the exemplary character exhibited by Auwal. He is a true NAHCO ambassador and an embodiment of what NAHCO stands for, honesty, integrity, diligence and hard work.”
The GMD added: “We celebrate your being and we want this to be just the beginning.
Let the values which have been instilled by your family, guide you and groom you into an ideal leader which everyone will be proud of.” The CEO pointed out that the majority of NAHCO staff exhibited these values in their everyday work.
