The Managing Director of Caniz Ltd, Austin Izagbo, has been honoured by the Daily Independent Newspapers for returning a sum of N75 million overpaid to his company by the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA).
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 has elicited great commendation from many Nigerians, especially at a time like this where it is common knowledge that politicians and corporate chieftains are perceived by the larger society as corrupt and common criminals.
