The Nigerian President, President Muhammadu Buhari has showed praises and commendation to one Nigerian doctorate student in University of Tsukuba, Japan, Mr Ikenna Nweke, who returned a missing wallet loaded with cash to the police and also turned down offer of a percentage from the authorities.
The President applauded the young man for projecting the values of integrity, honesty and contentment, maintaining that good virtues and propriety are the hallmark of every culture in Nigeria, while crimes and criminalities are exceptions.
President Buhari revealed that Nweke’s 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.
However, the president in a statement signed by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, on Saturday, 4th July, 2020, wished the young man all the best in his studies and work as a teaching assistant in the same university.
He further advised all Nigerians, home and overseas, to keep celebrating the age-old, irreplaceable attributes of honesty and decorum, and shun the microwaved, get-rich-quick tendencies that bring individual and collective shame.
