A civil contractor, Ayobami Adejumo, yesterday, received the keys to a brand-new Toyota Prado at the Lagos prize presentation event in the on-going Globacom ‘Festival of Joy’ promo.
The event, held at Gloworld, Victoria Island, Lagos, also saw many going home with different other prizes, including Keke Napep, power generators, sewing machines and grinding machines.
Adejumo, an indigene of Osun State residing in Lagos State, who received the keys from the Special Guest of Honour, the Deputy Governor of Lagos State, Dr Obafemi Hamzat, said: “I still can’t believe it. A call came from Globacom and the news was too good to believe. I doubted it. Could it be fraudsters? I will use the jeep personally; it will enhance my status and help me to get more jobs as a civil engineering contractor.”
Other winners at the event, including Ijebu-Ode-based Bukola Olatunji, who won a Keke Napep; a 33-year-old Ayodeji Olukunmi who won a generator and Daniel Eleh, an indigene of Benue State, who went home with a sewing machine, all expressed their gratitude to Globacom.
Hamzat, who spoke at the event, lauded Globacom for such thoughtful promotions, saying: “The good thing is that this is happening at a difficult time in the country. We must thank Glo for this and just pray that next year, it will be bigger. We would love the Chairman, (Dr Mike Adenuga), to make it twice this size next year. May God continue to bless the company.”
In his speech, Globacom’s Regional Chief, South West, Lawrence Odediran, said that new and existing subscribers could participate in the promo.
