The Managing Director of Messrs Caniz Limited, Dr Austin Izagbo has been honoured by the Daily Independent newspapers for returning N75 million overpaid to his company.
Izagbo, a politician from Delta State, commended the newspaper for recognising his integrity.
He said: “I appreciate the award given to me for returning N75 million overpaid by Federal Government agency, NIMASA (Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency) for a contract executed by my company Messrs Caniz Ltd.
“The award is a call for me to do more and also encourage other Nigerians that there is a reward for doing what is right”.
He said the award has elicited great commendation from many Nigerians, particularly given the perception of politicians and corporate chieftains as corrupt.
