First house winner emerges in Globacom’s Festival of Joy promo

The first house winner in Globacom’s Festival of Joy promotion has

emerged. He is 19-year-old Ibrahim Akindele, a 200-level student of

Science Laboratory at Ekiti State University, Ado Ekiti, Ekiti State.

At a presentation ceremony held by the company on Wednesday, November

16, Akindele was given the keys to a three-bedroom house by the Speaker

of Oyo State House of Assembly, Mr Debo Ogundoyin, who was accompanied

to the event by other key members of the parliament, and Globacom’s Head

of Operations in the West Territory, Mr. Akeem Yusuf.

The student who was dazed by his new status as a landlord expressed

gratitude to the digital services provider for making him an overnight

landlord at his young age. “My first reaction when I was called and told

about the good news was doubt. I was in disbelief, I thought it was just

someone playing pranks. I am short of words to convey my appreciation to

Glo for what they have done for me today. I am still a student, but

already Glo has made me a landlord”.

Equally overjoyed was his 54-year-old mother, Mrs. Funmilayo Akindele.

“We are grateful to Globacom for this wonderful gesture. The house will

be a place of refuge for Ibrahim and his older brother while we will be

coming to spend weekends with them”.

In his remarks at the event, Mr. Yusuf noted that the promo was another

opportunity for the company to reward its subscribers with amazing

prizes in line with its commitment to the continued empowerment of its

customers.

“Our commitment to the total well-being of our subscribers and the

realization 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”, he stated.

Ibadan will be hosting another prize presentation on Thursday, November

17, where lucky winners will go home with prizes including a brand new

Kia car, power generators, sewing machines, rechargeable fans among

other prizes.

Glo Festival of Joy will make 20 lucky subscribers

landlords/landladies, just as 24 of them will win brand new cars

across major cities of the nation as well as other prizes, including

power generators, sewing machines and rechargeable fans, among other

prizes.

Subscribers who wish to participate in the promo have been enjoined to

dial the dedicated short code *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 data subscription during the

promo period for the house. The more the recharges, the higher the

chance of winning.
