Telecommunications giant, Globacom, on Friday presented a status-changing reward of a brand new 3-bedroom house, to 31-year-old Miriam Okeanya, an entrepreneur in Obigbo, River State. She emerged as a lucky winner of the grand prize in the ongoing Glo Festival of Joy promo.
Accompanied by members of her family, Miriam was overflowing with joy as they all turned up to receive the keys to the apartment from Glo at the presentation ceremony in Port Harcourt on Friday. She exclaimed that nothing gave her any inkling at any time from January till December that she was going to become a landlady at the end of the year. “It feels great and shocking at the same time. I am grateful to Glo. This Festival of Joy, I think, was put in place for me”, she added.
“True, I saw the advert on TV and decided to opt in by dialling the *611# code, but I never had any idea that fate and Glo were working together to do something as great as this for me”, she said.
Globacom’s Regional Manager, Mr Okechukwu Nwaeze, disclosed that all a customer needs to do to participate in the promo is to dial *611# and recharge with N500 weekly to stand a chance to win the rechargeable fan, N2,500 monthly recharge for the sewing machine, N5,000 monthly recharge for the generator, N10,000 monthly recharge for the car, and N20,000 for the house”.
Head of Licensing and Operations of the National Lottery Regulatory Commission (NLRC), Port Harcourt, Mr Walson Dambo, noted that the regulatory body had been involved in the promo process from the onset, and commended Globacom for being faithful in ensuring that winners receive their prizes promptly.
The Executive Chairman of Obio-Akpor Local Government, George Ariolu, who presented the house keys to Okeanya, commended Globacom for putting in place such a huge subscriber appreciation package, adding that lives are being changed and fortunes transformed by Glo. “I must congratulate and applaud Globacom for this and I wish other networks can copy this”, he said.
