There was excitement yesterday in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital, as the first house winner in the ongoing Glo consumer promo, Festival of Joy, 19-year-old Ibrahim Akindele, got the keys to his three-bedroom house.
A 200-level student of Science Laboratory Technology of Ekiti State University, Ado-Ekiti, Akindele said: “I was in disbelief. I thought it was just someone playing pranks.”
The excited winner said he knew from past events that Globacom is a company that gives huge prizes to its subscribers.
According to him, the decision to use the apartment would be left for his parents to make.
The prize-presentation ceremony was attended by dignitaries, including Oyo State House of Assembly Speaker Debo Ogundoyin, and other key members of the state legislature.
Also at the event was the winner’s 54-year-old mother, Mrs. Funmilayo Akindele, who thanked Globacom for packaging the promo.
She said: “The house will be a place of refuge for Ibrahim and his older brother while we will be coming to spend weekends with them.”
Globacom’s Head of Operations, West Territory, Mr. Akeem Yusuf, who restated the commitment of the company to continuous empowerment of its customers, explained that Glo subscribers would win amazing prizes in Festival of Joy promo.
He said: “Our commitment to the total well-being of our subscribers and the realisation that shelter is one of the key needs of man have fuelled our desire to help some of them have houses of their own through this promo.
“This kind of prize is unprecedented as no brand has ever offered or presented such to their customers before.”
Ibadan will also be hosting the second prize presentation today where a brand new Kia car, power generators, sewing machines and rechargeable fans will be won by lucky subscribers.
Globacom, through the Festival of Joy, will present 20 houses, 24 brand new Kia cars and hundreds of other prizes, including power generators, sewing machines and rechargeable fans to lucky winners across the country.
