Adekunle Isaiah Oluwaseun, a dedicated National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) member, recently encountered an unexpected situation when he discovered a substantial N20 million credit in his account. This surprising turn of events, for a person who had a mere N1,521 balance, led him to take a remarkable and honest course of action.
A graduate of the University of Lagos, Oluwaseun expressed his astonishment at seeing such a significant sum in his account. In an interview with Igbere TV, he shared how he handled the situation. First, he sought to identify the sender's name through online searches and informed his father about the unusual development. Subsequently, he received a WhatsApp call from the Ilupeju branch of FCMB.
The bank's call was followed by contact from a representative of Bukkha Hospitality LTD, the source of the transaction. Oluwaseun, displaying his integrity, assured both parties of his intention to return the money. It's worth noting that Oluwaseun holds the position of Corps Liaison Officer (CLO) for NYSC in Ilesha West Local Government.
He recounted how a representative from Bukkha Hospitality LTD expressed gratitude for his honesty and conveyed apologies for any inconvenience caused. In appreciation, the representative personally sent him N20,000 and extended an invitation for him to submit his CV upon completing his NYSC service.
While some individuals online praised Oluwaseun's exemplary conduct, his actions also ignited mixed reactions among netizens. Among the comments, Orji Mela Chimex remarked, "For and on behalf of the distinguished trustworthy, honest and strong moral principled men of integrity... 'We are happy for you, keep representing us well...'"
Michael O. Esezoobo said: "This is the Nigeria we want; if not now, you will definitely be rewarded beyond your imagination for this act. I wish the people in authority 'picking' every available money at their disposal like the lunatic on the street picking every available container will take a clue from this."
