The management of Ignatius Ajuru University of Education (IAUE), Port Harcourt, has named Mr. Ami Victor Ugochukwu, a 100-level Political Science student, as the IAUE Student of the Year 2020 in recognition of his extraordinary honesty.
Why He Was Honoured
Mr. Ugochukwu found a lost smartphone worth tens of thousands of naira on campus and promptly returned it to the rightful owner. What moved the university community most was discovering that Ugochukwu himself did not own any mobile phone, not even a basic "torchlight" phone.
Rewards Presented by the University
Commending his integrity, the Vice-Chancellor announced a four-part reward package from the university management:
- A formal Certificate of Honour.
- A 4-year comprehensive scholarship covering his tuition fees and a modest upkeep allowance throughout his studies.
- A bank cheque refunding the 100-level school fees he had already paid.
- Display of his photograph on the University's Electronic Billboard of Excellence for six (6) months.
In addition to the university's award, several private individuals touched by his honesty have presented him with gifts and cash pledges.
