A worker at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA), Ikeja, Frank Omorojie, who found a lost purse containing $1,700, a British passport, a Nigerian passport, and a credit card at the departure hall of Terminal 2, has returned the items to its owner.

Omorojie, a casual worker in Environment Department of the Federal Airport Authority of Nigeria, found the items at the check-in counter of Rwanda Air and handed them over  to Aviation Security (AVSEC) officials.

Following standard procedures, the items were documented and passed to the Customer Service Department, where an announcement was made and a female Nigerian passenger, who had already resigned herself to the worst, was reunited with her belongings,every single item accounted for.

“I just did what was right,” Frank said humbly. His act has sparked widespread praise, with colleagues and officials calling it a shining example of professionalism and heart. FAAN continues to champion such gestures as part of its mission to elevate customer service and global best practices across Nigeria’s aviation industry.
