(Abuja)
President Muhammadu Buhari has sent warm greetings and commendation to a Nigerian doctorate student in University of Tsukuba, Japan, Mr Ikenna Nweke, who returned a missing wallet with huge sums of money to the police and also turned down offer of a percentage by the authorities.
Buhari saluted Nweke for projecting the values of honesty, integrity and contentment that should be the hallmark of a people, noting that good virtues and propriety were the hallmark of every culture in Nigeria, while crimes and criminalities were exceptions.
The President,in a statementn signed by Femi Adesina,his Special Adviser (Media & Publicity) in Abuja on Saturday, said he believed in Nweke’s behaviour.
According to Buhari, such behaviour, coming at a period that the country needs a positive spotlight and close-up on its real values, clearly signposts what should hold the nation together, inspired by solid foundations laid by most families, religious bodies and communities for success in life.
President Buhari,who wished Nweke all the best in his studies and work as a teaching assistant in same university, urged all Nigerians, home and abroad, to keep celebrating the age-old, irreplaceable attributes of honesty and decorum.
He also advised Nigerians to “shun the microwaved, get-rich-quick tendencies that bring individual and collective shame.”
