Governor hosts teacher for returning N101,000 to govt.

Fayose offered the school teacher’s husband an automatic employment with the state government.

Governor Ayo Fayose of Ekiti state.

Leadership reports that the teacher, on receiving the alert, contacted  the Governor and said she was not entitled to the payment.

Reports also say Fayose offered the school teacher’s husband an automatic employment with the state government.

An elated Fayose said “After the first text message, she sent me another reminder that the money was still in her account and that she did not know how to get it returned to government’s coffers.

“I decided to call her ‎to thank her for her honest act; I promised to reward her with N50,000, but I was again surprised when she said she would not take the monetary reward.”

“I asked her what she wanted and she said her husband was unemployed and would not mind if I could assist in that area.

“This is the virtue of a good woman and wife. I decided then that her husband will be given employment by the state government.

“This woman should be celebrated. The other time some teachers were accused of using their students as child labourers, we cried out, so when a teacher has done something commendable too we must let the world know that,” the Governor said.
