Ex-UBA banker receives 'payback' from customer

Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that a former UBA banker had narrated how he received a 'payback' from a customer who works at the immigration office after they ran into each other.

The customer, now an immigration officer, greeted him warmly upon seeing him and introduced himself as the person to whom he had helped resolve a complaint. He said the immigration officer told him it is always good to be good to people, as no one knows what tomorrow holds.

Because he was nice to the officer when he had an issue at the bank, the former banker said he received the same kind treatment from the fellow at the immigration office. As he enjoyed the kind treatment from the immigration officer, the ex-banker said he wondered what would have happened if he had been rude to him then or treated him badly.
