A Retired Teacher Returns Salary Wrongly Paid To His State Treasury

After going through the story of a Primary School Teacher that taught for 30yrs and retired at the post of Assistant Headmaster with Gabukka Primary School in Gombe, one will be compelled to agree with the common saying that teachers’ reward is in heaven”.

Malam Jafaru Adamu Boderi had recently clocked 60years in his life and that also brings him to the end of his carrier as a civil servant. He finally retired in March this year. Today, Malam Jafaru received an alert of amount of over N34,400 coming into his account as his usual salary.

When he saw the amount he knew that something went wrong, so he said to himself that this cannot be his pension because it was the exact figure that he normally receive as his monthly salary. Unfortunately, he had no money nor any little amount to use for transport. He was left with the option to trek down to the bank. He withdrew the money and also trekked from the bank to the State Treasury.

He tendered the money, collected his receipt and walked down home. On his way home, his cousin had to give him N50.00 for transport fare to pay for a bike. What a man!

It’s my pleasure to share with you the story of this rare breed of citizens. This level of contentment is extraordinary and worth commendation.

For proof of evidence, I hereby attached a photocopy of the Gombe State Government Treasury Receipt with No. 0196241.

I WISH THE GOVERNMENT OF GOMBE STATE WILL CELEBRATE SUCH PATRIOT AND EULOGIZE HIS EXEMPLARY CHARACTER FOR PURPOSE OF PROMOTING GOOD MORAL VALUES IN PUBLIC SERVICE AND SOCIETY.
