Nigerian billionaire businessman, Tony Onyemaechi Elumelu, who is the Chairman of Heirs Holdings, the United Bank for Africa (UBA), Transcorp and founder of The Tony Elumelu Foundation, has taken to his Instagram page to narrate how his staff (a security man) returned $10,000 (N3million) he found on the ground.
Below is how he wrote the story;
Last month, Mohammed Ibrahim Ogbanago, a security guard at the @ubagroup branch in Oba Akran, found $10,000 outside on the ground at his branch. In an unparalleled display of integrity, he decided to return the money.
When I heard about this story, I knew I had to meet the man who despite facing rising petrol & transportation prices and “tomato ebola” returned such a huge sum of money without recourse to himself.It was a pleasant surprise to hear him tell this story and about how he came to be in the board room with us. Even more surprising was hearing him speak about his passion for governance and integrity in leadership.
Mohammed Ibrahim Ogbanago is an exemplary ambassador of the UBA spirit and it was fulfilling to meet and reward him for his conduct.
The @UBAGroup management is proud to have this caliber of staff at all levels. Congratulations to Mohammed and keep up the good work.
The only way to go in life is to choose the part of integrity and fear of God. I Ogbanago Muhammed Ibrahim would continue upholding the part of doing the right thing at all times. Together we can build a Nigeria of our dreams and desires. #TOGETHERWECAN
