The 18-year-old school dropout who makes a living as a bike rider had found $50,000 (N20,543,500) on the road and returned it to the owner.
He was said to have been showered with gifts by the owner of the huge sum who happened to be a businesswoman.
The story of his honesty went viral and got to the hearing of the President of Liberia, George Weah who has now rewarded Emmanuel extremely.
Liberian Observer reports that President Weah gifted the young man $10,000 (N4,119,000).
In addition, Emmanuel has been offered scholarship up to master’s level to study in any Liberian institution of his choice, two motorcycles as well as a chance to work in the Presidential office.
Speaking in a meeting with young boy, the president also announced plans to bestow on Emmanuel one of Liberia’s Highest Orders of Distinction while affirming that the scholarship will continue whether he remains in power or not.
“This scholarship is personal from me and my family, and will be valid whether or not I am President of Liberia.”
