The Katsina government on Tuesday rewarded a woman,
Malama Amina Abdulkadir-Yanmama, with N500,000 for returning N748,320 to to the
state.
The N748,320 was meant for the federal government’s
home-grown school feeding programme in Katsina.
The executive director of the Katsina State Social
Investment Programme Agency (KASIPA), Mudassir Nasir presented the reward to
the woman.
“She told us that she received alert with a narration
titled payment for vendors who were providing primary school pupils with free
food. The woman decided to come to our office because she was not on the
register for vendors who provide food for our pupils and she was not part of
such a programme.
“We requested for her bank statement and the office of
the auditor-general verified that she was telling the truth. Therefore,
Governor Dikko Radda directed that she should be appreciated with N500,000,
honoured with a commendation letter and offer to participate in the next school
feeding programme,” he said.
The auditor-general, Anas Tukur-Abdul?adir, also
commended the woman.
Ms Abdulkadir-Yanmama said, “I knew that I had to
return the money because it doesn’t belong to me.”
Ms Abdulkadir-Yanmama commended the governor and the
KASIPA management for the support, honour and encouragement given to her.
