Kano State Governor Abba Yusuf has offered a permanent and pensionable appointment, a special gift of N1million, and an automatic slot for the forthcoming Hajj Exercise to a casual staff of the Kano State Pilgrims Welfare Board, Dayyabu Haladu, aka Dan Gezawa, who returned missing $16000 during the last Hajj operation in Kano.

Governor Yusuf expressed his heartfelt appreciation to the casual staff for displaying the act of self-contentment, calling it an excellent character worthy of emulation by all and sundry.

“As a casual staff whose allowance is nothing to take home about, this gentleman managed to return the lost money worth over 15 million. It shows how this person has a fear of Allah and he deserved to be celebrated,” the Governor said in a statement issued by his Chief Press Secretary, Sanusi Bature.

In his response, the beneficiary, Dayyabu Haladu, revealed that he returned the lost money to the authority of state Pilgrims Welfare Board for the fear of Allah, knowing that it is improper to use what does not belong to him despite his current economic status.

He also expressed gratitude to the state Governor for the gesture extended to him, saying that it is the most joyful moment of his life.
