right thing adding that her conduct was in line with the new slogan of the
agency. He also said that the agency would not relent in rewarding Nigerians
that exhibited such honesty in the discharge of their duties.

in the past have been rewarded with the citizen’s responsibility recognition
ward.

Orientation Agency decided to honour the airport cleaner as a way of rewarding
honesty and transparency.”
“This recognition is in line with our slogan to Nigerians to
do the right thing .Showing good example is part of the good values that
Nigerians should emulate. Three years ago we gave similar recognition of honour
to other Nigerians that have exhibited good conduct of honesty.”
