A Charity Foundation run by Mr. Monday Ubani, took up Josephine Ugwu’s case, the airport cleaner who found and returned N12 million at the airport on Saturday, January 10, 2015.
The foundation had promised to raise 10 percent of the money found to her. Part of the promise was fulfilled when a cheque of N680,000 was presented to her on Thursday, 11, 2015, by the foundation.
Speaking to Encomium Weekly – an elated Barrister Monday Ubani said:
Yes, it is true. We gave her a cheque of N680,000. The foundation promised her N1.2 million, 10 percent of what she found and returned. God will help us get there. She was so happy when we presented it. It was when we brought up her case that people started inviting and honouring her. She has been invited by House Of Assembly, CLAM, TREM and so on. We have told the world that she is the face of integrity, she should be celebrated.
I really want to empower her. What I want is something that is permanent. I want the government to give her a house. The big men in the country should come to her aid and give her a five bedroom bungalow so that when she wakes up, she will remember that she got the house as a result of honesty. She will be able to tell her children the story also. There is no amount we give her that will not finish. I want something permanent.
