See Gov. Fayose's Reaction After A Woman Returned N101,000 To The State Govt

Ekiti state Governor, Ayodele Fayose on Wednesday, March 16, offered immediate employment to the husband of Grace Ayodele, a teacher who returned the sum of N101,000 wrongly paid to her as rural and core subject allowance.

According to News Agency of Nigeria, Grace who teaches in Ikere-Ekiti, was wrongly credited with the said sum of money meant for those teaching in rural schools and those taking core subjects in public secondary schools.

Fayose who hosted Grace and her husband in his office as mark of appreciation, 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.”
