“Despite the present economic challenges, Nigeria still boasts of men and women of integrity; Ms. Josephine Agu, an airport cleaner returned $12,200 found in a toilet at Murtala Mohammed International Airport, Lagos as well as Ogbanago Muhammed Ibrahim, a bank security man who found and returned $10,000,” Buhari said in a statement by presidential aide Femi Adesina.

“Today, we celebrate their dignity and strong strength of character by conferring National Honours on them. They are a shining example to our younger generation. I congratulate all the recipients today who will be joining the league of Awardees.”

Josephine Agu was a cleaner at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos. In 2015, Agu, a staff of a cleaning company at the Lagos airport, found $12,200, that a passenger forgot inside a toilet in the facility and returned it to security officials.
