In Maiduguri, Borno State, a story of rare integrity has gripped the nation.
Faiza Abdulkadir, a cleaner earning just ₦30,000 a month, was recently faced with a life-changing temptation. A staggering ₦4.8 million—over 100 times her monthly salary—was mistakenly credited into her account. For many in her shoes, keeping the money might have seemed like an escape from poverty. But Faiza chose a different path. She returned every naira.
Her decision, driven not by wealth but by principle, has ignited conversations across Nigeria about honesty, poverty, and ethics in a country where financial struggles often test moral values.
Speaking to News Central’s Umaru Kirawa, Faiza revealed the inner conflict she faced, while those who know her best described her as a woman of unwavering integrity.
Her story is now inspiring Nigerians, reminding many that in a society battling corruption and hardship, true wealth still lies in character.
Would you like me to make this headline punchier and tabloid-style (e.g., “Cleaner Rejects ₦4.8m Windfall, Chooses Integrity Over Fortune”) or keep it in a serious newspaper tone?
