The governor also offered him a special gift of N1 million and automatic slot for the forthcoming hajj exercise.
A statement by his Chief Press Secretary, CPS, Sanusi Dawakin-Tofa, said: “As a casual staff whose allowance is nothing to take home, this gentleman managed to return the lost money worth over N15 million. It shows how this person has the fear of Allah, and he deserves to be celebrated.”
Governor Yusuf called on the people of Kano to maintain the hard earned reputation of the state by showcasing the good virtues of trust worthiness, self discipline and contentment so that they can live a happy life.
In his response, Haladu said returned the lost money to the authority for the fear of God, saying “it is not proper to use what does not belong to him despite current economic status.”
