Gov. Fayose offers Job to husband of Teacher Who Returned N101,000 Wrongly Paid Her

Ekiti State governor, Ayodele Fayose has with immediate effect given employment to the husband of a school teacher who was wrongly credited with N101,000 as a rural and core subject allowance.
Mrs. Ayodele Grace,who teaches in Ikere-Ekiti,on Wednesday returned to the coffers of Ekiti State Government the money meant for those teaching in rural schools and those taking core subjects in public secondary schools.
According to a press statement by the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Mr Idowu Adelusi, Grace sent a text message to the governor when she got the alert from her bank, and told the governor she was not entitled to the allowance.
The elated Fayose, who thereafter hosted Grace and her husband in his office as mark of appreciation, was said to have told the teacher that he was surprised at her level of honesty.

"After the first text message, she sent me another reminder that the money was still in her account and that she did not know how to get it returned to government's coffers.
“I decided to call her ‎to thank her for her honest act; I promised to reward her with N50,000, but I was again surprised when she said she would not take the monetary reward.

"I asked her what she wanted and she said her husband was unemployed and would not mind if I could assist in that area.

“This is the virtue of a good woman and wife. I decided then that her husband will be given employment by the state government.

"This woman should be celebrated. The other time some teachers were accused of using their students as child labourers, we cried out, so when a teacher has done something commendable too we must let the world know that," Fayose was quoted as saying .
