In a remarkable demonstration of integrity, Auwal Dankode, a dedicated Cabin Cleaner with Nigerian Aviation Handling Company Plc (NAHCO), recently made headlines for his honesty and commitment to ethical values. While performing his duties on an aircraft at Malam Aminu Kano International Airport, Dankode discovered a substantial sum of $10,000—equivalent to approximately ₦16 million.

Dankode's discovery could have easily gone unnoticed, but his adherence to NAHCO's core values made all the difference. NAHCO Plc prides itself on upholding principles encapsulated in the acronym S I I R E E: Safety, Integrity, Innovation, Reliability, Respect, and Empathy. Dankode’s actions resonated deeply with these values, showcasing the power of honesty and responsibility in the workplace.

According to Zagazola Makaman, a security analyst and counter-insurgency expert, Dankode's first response upon finding the cash was exemplary. Instead of keeping the money or ignoring it, he promptly informed the airline company's manager, setting in motion a process to locate the rightful owner. This swift action underlines the core value of Integrity that NAHCO holds dear.

Hailing from Kode in Kano State, Dankode is not only known for his professional dedication but also for his profound religious faith and unwavering honesty. Makaman highlighted that Dankode’s actions underscore the importance of integrity and ethical conduct, especially in an era where such virtues can often be overlooked.

As efforts continue to reunite the money with its rightful owner, Dankode's story serves as a powerful reminder of the impact that simple acts of honesty and kindness can have. In a world where trust is invaluable, Auwal Dankode’s actions stand as a shining example of how adhering to one’s principles can make a significant difference.
