Woman Returns N748,320 Wrongly Credited To Her Bank Account, Gets N500,000 Cash Gift From Katsina Govt

The Katsina State Government on Tuesday presented N500,000 cash gift to Malama Abdulkadir-Yanmama who returned the  sum of money that was accidentally paid into her bank account.

The N748, 320  that was  wrongfully credited to her bank account is part of the money meant for the Federal Government’s Home Grown School feeding programme in the state.

Team@orientactualmags.com  learned that the Executive Director of Katsina State Social Investment Programme Agency, Dr Mudassir Nasir, presented the cash gift to Malama Abdulkadir-Yanmama .

‘She told us that she received a credit alert with a narration titled ‘payment for vendors who were providing primary school pupils with free food’.

 The woman decided to come to our office because she was not on the register for vendors who provide food for our pupils and she was not part of such a programme.

We requested for her bank statement and the office of the auditor-general verified that she was telling the truth.

Therefore, Governor Dikko Radda directed that she should be appreciated with N500,000, honoured with a commendation letter and offer to participate in the next school feeding programme’ the Executive Director said.

Nasir added that Governor Radda was happy and commended the woman for being honest while urging others to emulate her.

In his remarks, the state Auditor-General, Alhaji Anas Tukur-Abdulƙadir, also commended the woman adding that she deserves more honours.

‘I knew that I had to return the money because it doesn’t belong to me’ Abdulkadir-Yanmama also submitted while commending the governor and the KASIPA management for the support and the honour-Team@orientactualmags.com   Do you have any information you wish to share with us?
