The Nigerian Network of Women Exporters of Service (NNWES) has honoured Mr. Imeh Usua, an airport taxi driver that returned a bag belonging to a British passenger containing foreign currency worth N18 million, with service delivery award. Although the incident took place in 2007, NNWES President Nkiru Joy Okpala said it was not too late to recognize him for his sincerity. Usua, a father of six, who joined eight other award recipients in Abuja, said he had no regrets for returning the money even though he is “a poor man.” “I can never take another person’s money. I am very happy that Iam being recognized,” he said. The recipients include Miss Oyinaya Kalu Oka of the NTA, Ambassador Godknows Boladei Igali, Permanent Secretary, Federal Ministry of Water Resources; Dr Azubuko Joel Udah, a retired Deputy Inspector General of Police, among others.
