A Nigerian lady, Chioma Odidika, has been celebrated and applauded by the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NIDCOM) after she returned a cheque of $4,000 (N1,524,000) he got from scammers in the United States.
In a statement by NIDCOM, the lady identified as Chioma Odidika, was applauded by the chairman of the commission, Hon Abike Dabiri-Erewa, for making Nigeria proud with her conduct.
Chioma, who is based in Columbia, South Carolina, was honoured with Integrity Award by the Sheriff of Richland County and was also offered a job.
Dabiri-Erewa said the award was well deserved, adding that Chioma portrayed what Nigeria is about, which is honesty.
The chairman of NIDCOM thanked the Imo state indigene for portraying the image of Nigerians in the diaspora as unique, honest and trustworthy immigrants.
She said:
“No legacy is as rich as honesty; it remains the best policy. We must continue to exhibit such behaviour in wherever we find ourselves. We must continue to be a good Ambassador to our country.”
