As you read this, a staff of
Transcorp Hilton hotel, Abuja, Blessing Victor is studying in an aviation
school in Lagos, free, as a reward for her honesty.
Blessing Victor, a room attendant
in the Housekeeping Department of Transcorp Hilton found N500,000 cash in a
room she was cleaning. The occupant had checked out. The money, apparently left
by the last occupant of the room, was returned by Blessing to her supervisor
and recorded as lost but found.
The guest later discovered his
money was missing and quickly contacted the hotel, not sure if he actually left
the money in the room. The guest was surprised to learn that the room attendant
who cleaned the room after he checked out found the money and returned it
intact.
Impressed by this rare show of
honesty, the guest returned to the hotel two weeks later to reward Blessing for
her display of honesty and integrity. She was rewarded with a cash prize of
N100,000. The guest didn’t stop with the cash reward, he offered Blessing the
opportunity to further her education at the Nigerian Aviation School in Lagos
by paying full tuition for a two-year diploma course for her. Integrity does
pay!
Blessing’s exemplary conduct was
also recognised by the hotel management. At
a reception organised for her, the General Manager thanked her for
living the Hilton Value of Integrity and
presented her with a Blue Energy Certificate in addition to an offer of
complimentary stay in the hotel on any weekend of her choice.
