….Lauds For Exceptional Integrity, Good Character And Outstanding Disposition.
Dayyabu Haladu, known as Dan Gezawa, a dedicated casual worker at the Kano State Pilgrims Welfare Board, has been lauded for his exceptional act of integrity. In a remarkable display of honesty, Dayyabu Haladu discovered and promptly returned a substantial sum of $16,000 to its rightful owner during the recent Hajj operation in Kano.
This outstanding demonstration of integrity did not go unnoticed. Kano Governor, Abba Yusuf, recognizing the rare quality exhibited by Haladu, extended a significant token of appreciation. In addition to offering him a Permanent and Pensionable appointment, Haladu was granted a generous special gift of N1 million. Furthermore, he secured an automatic slot for the upcoming Hajj Exercise.
The commendation ceremony took place at the Kano State Pilgrims Welfare Board, where Governor Abba Yusuf expressed his deep gratitude for Haladu’s extraordinary act of honesty. The governor praised Haladu’s exemplary character, emphasizing that despite being a casual worker with modest earnings, he returned an amount exceeding 15 million naira. This, the governor noted, exemplified Haladu’s profound reverence for Allah and highlighted his deservedness of celebration.
Haladu, in his humble response, attributed his actions to his unwavering fear of Allah. He explained that it was his firm belief that appropriating what did not rightfully belong to him was ethically incorrect. He described this moment as the most joyous in his life, while also expressing heartfelt gratitude to Governor Abba Yusuf for the kind gesture extended to him. This episode stands as a powerful testament to the enduring value of honesty and integrity in our society.
