Ibrahim Salifu, a sanitation worker in the Tamale Metropolitan area and beneficiary of the Youth Employment Agency (YEA), has been hailed for his exceptional display of honesty after returning a substantial sum of GH¢20,000 he found during his daily duties.
Reports indicate that Ibrahim stumbled upon the money in a waste bag while carrying out his sanitation duties. A few days later, the rightful owner of the lost money visited Ibrahim’s workplace to inquire about it, and without a second thought, Ibrahim handed over the entire amount.
Zoomlion Ghana Limited, Ibrahim’s employer, recognized his integrity and selflessness by rewarding him with an undisclosed sum of Ghana cedis, U.S. dollars, and a motorbike to facilitate his work and daily commute.
In a Facebook post, Zoomlion commended Ibrahim’s exceptional act, stating:
