A security officer, Mohammed Ibrahim Ogbanago, at United Bank for Africa (UBA) displayed integrity by returning $10,000 (over N3.5 Million using the
current black market rate) he found outside his branch at Oba Akran.
Chairman of the UBA Group Plc., Tony Elumelu
revealed this in an Instagram post on Saturday, praising Ogbanago’s
“unparalleled display of integrity” even in the present economic crisis.
Read what he said about him below:
"Last month, Mohammed Ibrahim Ogbanago, a security guard at the @ubagroup
branch in Oba Akran, found $10,000 belonging to a customer outside on
the ground at his branch. In an unparalleled display of his own
integrity, he decided to return the money, preserving the integrity of
the bank.
When I heard about this story, I knew I had to meet the man who despite
facing rising petrol & transportation prices and “tomato ebola”
returned such a huge sum of money without recourse to himself.
It was a pleasant surprise to hear him tell this story and about how he
came to be in the board room with us. Even more surprising was hearing
him speak about his passion for governance and integrity in leadership.
Mohammed Ibrahim Ogbanago is an exemplary ambassador of the UBA spirit
and of our core values: "HEIR" Humility, Empathy, Integrity &
Resilience. At @UBAGROUP the customer comes first and we uphold their trust in us. It was fulfilling to meet and reward him for his conduct.
The @UBAGroup management is proud to have this caliber of staff at all levels. Congratulations to Mohammed and keep up the good work".
