In a remarkable story of honesty and integrity, Auwal Ahmad Dankode, a cleaner with the Nigerian Aviation Handling Company (NAHCO), has made headlines for returning a substantial sum of $10,000 he discovered while cleaning an Egypt Air flight at Kano Airport. Despite having only N3,800 in his bank account, Dankode’s decision to return the money has not only earned him widespread admiration but also transformed his career.
On the day of the incident, Dankode was assigned to clean an Egypt Air aircraft that had just landed at Mallam Aminu Kano International Airport. As part of the cleaning crew, he was tasked with preparing the plane for its next journey. While working, he came across an envelope in the middle of the aircraft at the 25th seat. To his surprise, the envelope contained a wallet with $10,000 in cash.
Dankode, who was already struggling financially, faced a significant temptation. However, guided by both personal values and company policy, he chose to report the find rather than keep it. The NAHCO policy mandates that employees must report any lost items they find to their supervisors. Since his supervisor was engaged with other duties, Dankode took the initiative to directly hand over the money to Mr. Kareem Gad, the Kano Station Manager of Egypt Air.

The General Manager/CEO of NAHCO, Andranil Gupta, learned about the incident and decided to reward Dankode for his exemplary behavior. Dankode was invited to Lagos, where he was met with a warm reception by the COO of NAHCO and driven in a Prado Jeep to the company’s head office.
At the office, Dankode was introduced as a model employee whose values align with NAHCO’s core principles. He was honored with the Golden Time award, promoted to a permanent staff position, and appointed as the company’s Brand Ambassador. This recognition came along with a cash reward, a testament to the company’s appreciation for his integrity.
Dankode’s family and community are equally proud of his actions. His father, Ahmad Abubakar, expressed his pride in his son’s adherence to the values he was taught. His mother, Rabi Ibrahim, hopes that Dankode’s example will inspire other young people to uphold honesty and integrity.
Dankode’s story underscores the significance of ethical behavior in a world where temptation can be overwhelming. His decision to return the $10,000 despite his financial situation highlights a profound level of personal integrity and respect for others.
