In a statement the Bishop says..
Recently, I read in the Newspapers about a cleaner by the name
Josephine Ugwu, who found a sum of N12 million (in foreign
currencies) at the Murtala Muhammad International Airport on
January 23rd, 2015 and returned the whole amount to the owner,
who just said thank you and walked away.
Despite the fact that a lot of people who heard about it said it was
foolish on Ugwu’s part to have returned that much money, I was
so inspired by this young woman's HONESTY. In the face of the
high cost of living and prevailing economic challenges, it took a
high level of moral integrity for josephine who's monthly salary is
N7,800 to exhibit such act of honesty.
Today, I led the members of TREM to Celebrate Josephine Ugwu by
presenting her with the B.L.E.N.T (Breading Leaders for
Empowerment and National Transformation) Award and a cash
reward.
Beloved, today I present to you Josephine Ugwu, the latest recipient
of the B.L.E.N.T. Award by TREM.
It still pays to be HONEST
