RCCG pastor honoured in Morocco for returning overpaid funds

Olusegun Oluleye, a pastor with the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), has been honoured in Morocco for returning 430 dirhams. 

Dirham is the currency of certain nations, including Morocco, United Arab Emirates, and Qatar.

The pastor, an employee of the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC), was honoured at a workshop organised by North East Consultancy Limited.

Speaking with NAN in Abuja, Oluleye said the incident occurred at a bureau de change.

The cleric said upon discovering the error, he promptly notified Ahmed Gombe, chief executive officer of North-East Consultancy Limited, who verified the overpayment and arranged for the money to be returned to the shop owner.

“I am always content with what I have and believe in returning what doesn’t belong to me,” he said.

“I encourage Nigerians to uphold honesty and act as ambassadors for their country wherever they go.”

Gombe described Oluleye as the “workshop’s outstanding participant”, commending his “exceptional behavior and exemplary conduct”.

The Moroccan Tourism Agency and local police commended Oluleye for his integrity, and described him as a “true ambassador” of Nigeria.

Hussaini Magaji, registrar general of the CAC, lauded Oluleye for representing the commission honorably, and promised a recommendation letter.
