Port Harcourt-based Electrical Engineer, Ime Etukudo, brimmed with joy
and excitement on Tuesday as he received the keys to a brand-new car
from telecommunications giant, Globacom.
The 39-year-old indigene of Ikot-Ekpene in Akwa Ibom State who sold his
old car only last year said at the prize-presentation ceremony held on
Tuesday, January17, 2023, at Gloworld, Aba Road in Port Harcourt, Rivers
State, that Glo had made him a proud owner of a brand new car which he
scarcely dreamt of in the new year.
“When I got a call from a Glo official, my first instinct was that it
was a fraudster, but when the caller insisted that I should come to Glo
office and even said I should look at the video of the office on my
Whatsapp, I became convinced and I screamed. My fellow workers
immediately joined me in celebrating, while some volunteered to follow
me to the Glo office. Immediately, I called my wife to break the good
news to her”, he said.
Over 70 other ecstatic winners of different prizes including power
generators, sewing machines and rechargeable fans were at the venue to
receive their prizes. Many of them expressed appreciation to the mobile
network operator for being magnanimous to its subscribers through the
Festival of Joy promo.
Special guest at the ceremony and a member of the Rivers State House of
Assembly, Hon Azeru Opara, commended Globacom for its commitment to its
subscribers and its determination to empower them by giving back to
them. He appealed to other corporate entities to emulate the good
gestures of the network.
Other guests at the event were the representative of the Mayor of Port
Harcourt, Barrister Chile Owuru, representative of the National Lottery
Regulatory Commission (NLRC), Port Harcourt office, Mr. Walson Dambo,
Nollywood actors, Ese Eriata and Mike Godson, as well as Glo Business
partner and Managing Director of Digital Orbit, Mr. Austin Ufio.
Globacom’s Regional Manager, Port Harcourt, Mr. Augustine Mamuro, called
on Glo subscribers to avail themselves of the opportunity of the promo
to become lucky winners of the expensive prizes. “You could be among the
next batch of winners. Simply dial *611# to join the promo and keep
recharging for voice and data (as desirable) during the promo period in
order to be eligible to win the prizes on offer”, he opined.
