The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) has recognized and rewarded the honesty of Corps Assistant II (CA II) Abubakar Abdulkadir Mayos for returning a substantial sum of money to its rightful owner. Mayos found a bag containing $500 and 300 Saudi Riyals (valued at N850,000) belonging to Maimuna Salihu, an intending pilgrim from Taraba State, at Yola International Airport.
In a heartwarming display of integrity, Mayos promptly returned the bag to its owner, demonstrating exceptional honesty and trustworthiness.
The Commandant General of the NSCDC, Dr. Ahmed Abubakar Audi, took notice of Mayos’ actions and decided to promote him to Corps Assistant I (CA I) with immediate effect.
The promotion ceremony, held at the NSCDC state headquarters in Yola, Adamawa State capital, was a testament to the Commandant General’s commitment to recognizing and rewarding honesty and integrity within the organization. The gesture serves as a powerful message, encouraging a culture of trust, accountability, and principled behavior among NSCDC officers.
Mayos’ actions and subsequent promotion have set a positive example for others to follow, highlighting the importance of doing the right thing, even when no one is watching. The NSCDC’s recognition of Mayos’ honesty demonstrates the organization’s commitment to upholding the highest standards of ethics and professionalism.
As the NSCDC continues to play a vital role in maintaining security and order, the story of CA Mayos serves as an inspiration to officers and Nigerians alike, promoting a culture of integrity and trustworthiness that can have a lasting impact on the nation.
