Dr. Olufemi Lalude finally gets rewarded after rejecting $6 million bribe.

 

There are rewards for integrity and Dr Olufemi Lalude has been rewarded for being a man of integrity.

 Dr Olufemi Lalude made headlines many years ago after refusing the sum of $6 million. He was the first managing director of Shell Nigeria Exploration and Production Company and the 81-year-old man has been by the Akinjide Adeosun Foundation. 

On Wednesday, September 9, Lalude was honoured by the Akinjide Adeosun Foundation (AAF). 

The foundation said the recognition of Lalude was in line with its core mandate, adding that the latter is a man of integrity.

The 81-year-old man was also praised by the foundation for refusing to be cowed when the organisation that offered him the bribe moved against him.

The population wrote: “Today, Papa at 81 is living a peaceful, joyous and fulfilled contented life. We are celebrating him today. He began his career with integrity as his legacy in mind.

According to the foundation, there are many good people in Nigeria that need to be celebrated so as to change the perception that all Nigerians are bad.
