Abba Yusuf, governor of Kano, has offered permanent
appointment to a casual staff of the state pilgrims welfare board who returned
missing $16,000 during the last hajj exercise.
Yusuf made the announcement while receiving the report of
the Kano state pilgrims welfare board for the 2023 hajj operation.
He said the casual staff identified as Dayyabu Haladu aka
Dan Gezawa, was also rewarded with a gift of N1 million and an automatic slot
to embark on the forthcoming hajj exercise.
The governor said the action of the casual staff shows
contentment, adding that he is an “excellent character worthy of emulation by
all and sundry”.
“As a casual staff
whose allowance is nothing to take home about, this gentleman managed to return
the lost money worth over N15 million,” he said.
“It shows how this person has a fear of Allah and he
deserves to be celebrated.”
He urged residents to uphold the reputation of the state by
exhibiting discipline and contentment in order to live a happy life.
On his part, the casual staff said he returned the money to
the state pilgrims board because of the fear of Allah.
He said it was improper to take what did not belong to him
regardless of the economic hardship.
He thanked the governor for the gifts and gestures extended
to him, adding that it was the best moment of his life.
The governor also promised to honour a tricyclist who
returned a missing N16 million sum.
In July, the National Hajj Commission of Nigeria (NAHCON)
said a Nigerian pilgrim identified as Aishatu Nahuce returned a missing $8,000
to the owner in Saudi Arabia.
