US Navy Honours Honest Nigerian Born Officer

By GWG Staff

The United States Navy has honoured a Nigerian born officer, Lt. Victor Agunbiade who managed N17.5 billion ($45 million) without mismanaging a single kobo!

The feat in managing the amount which was said to be the US Navy’s largest overseas cash disbursement led to Lt. Agunbiade being honoured with the Navy and Marine Corps Development Medal.

Agunbiade, who joined the US Navy in 2008, is the Disbursing Officer, Camp Lemmonier, Djibouti.

The Navy’s audit of the amount revealed that every kobo or cent kept in the custody of the Nigerian born officer was accounted for.
The award certificate read in part, “Meritorious service while serving as disbursing officer, comptroller department, Camp Lemmonier, Djibouti from October 2019 to July 2020 in support of Operation Enduring Freedom and Overseas Contingency Freedom.

“Demonstrating superior leadership, Lieutenant Agunbiade managed the navy’s largest cash disbursing office with $45m in cash transaction accounting for approximately 70 per cent of the navy’s overseas disbursing volume. Additionally, he maintained 100 per cent accountability of $23m across six rigorous inspections and independent audit with zero discrepancies.

“By his unswerving determination, wise judgment and complete dedication to duty, Lieutenant Agunbiade reflected great credit upon himself and upheld the highest traditions of the United States Naval Service.”
