National telecommunications operator, Globacom, on Thursday added more value to its subscribers as it launched a unique mass empowerment promotion tagged Recharge and Win Big known as My Own Don Beta.
The promo, according to Globacom, would enable subscribers on the network to win life-enhancing prizes such as tricycles otherwise known as keke, grinding machines, generators and sewing machines.
Speaking while launching the consumer promotion at the company’s Headquarters in Lagos, Globacom’s Retail and Consumer Sales Chief, Mr. David Maji, said that My Own Don Beta offer started on Thursday, October 3, 2019 and would be opened to all new and existing prepaid and postpaid subscribers.
Stressing that the items to be won in the promo were carefully selected to empower Nigerians to create wealth and even become employers of labour, Maji added that subscribers in all parts of the country would have a chance of emerging winners, just as the prize-presentation events would be held in Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt, Benin, Ibadan, Kano, Jos, Enugu and Onitsha.
He explained that the modalities for participation was simple as all a prepaid subscriber needed to do was to recharge with a total of N200 in a day either in one recharge or cumulative recharges. “The more the recharge, the more entries the customer gets to the draw, thus the higher chances of winning”, he emphasised
“Glo strongly believes in rewarding and empowering its numerous customers across Nigeria. Our objective is to transform thousands of lives through these empowerment packages to enable them become self-employed and ultimately affect the lives of those around them”, he enthused
According to him, “There is no better time than now to be a Glo subscriber. Rather than dishing out money to winners, we have chosen to give them trade-establishment tools that will help them set up their own businesses. This will have direct impact on their life situations. My Own Don Beta promises to be the most exciting people-oriented empowerment promo around. We urge Glo subscribers and non-subscribers not to miss this opportunity”.
Also speaking at the launch, Mrs Felicia Onwuegbuchulam, Director, Consumer Affairs, Nigerian Communications Commission, NCC, lauded Globacom for its pacesetting roles in the nation’s telecoms industry.
In her words, “Glo is a very big brand. It takes the lead in quite a number of things, very critical things and we are not ignorant of the operations of telcos. This is the second time I would attend this kind of events. I was here when some Nigerians were sent to Russia. This promo is a powerful empowerment tool. Imagine if a woman in the village wins the industrial sewing machine. We sincerely appreciate Glo and expect that other telecommunications organizations will emulate them to give back to the subscribers”.
Dignitaries who attended the colourful event included the Iya L’Oloja General of Nigeria, Mrs. Folashade Ojo; member, Lagos State House of Assembly, Hon. Adewale Adedeji; Dean, Student Affairs, University of Lagos, Prof Ademola Adeleke, and his counterparts from the Lagos State University, Dr Olufemi Obayori, and Yaba College of Technology, Mr O.R Balogun.
