The Managing Director of Messrs Caniz Ltd, Dr Austin Izagbo, has been honoured by the Daily Independent Newspapers for returning N75 million overpaid to his company.
Dr Izagbo, a Delta-born politician, 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 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 had elicited great commendation from many Nigerians, especially at a time like this in Nigeria, where it is common knowledge that the larger society perceives politicians and corporate chieftains as corrupt and common criminals.
