Glo Presents House Prize To Teenage Winner In Festival of Joy Promo

By Moninuola Sulaiman

Telecommunications giant, Globacom, yesterday fulfilled its promise of rewarding its loyal subscribers with amazing prizes as a 19-year-old undergraduate was presented with a three-bedroom house in its unprecedented promo, Festival of Joy.  

The first of the presentations was held yesterday in Ibadan, the capital of Oyo State, where 19-year-old Ibrahim Akindele, the winner of the three-bedroom apartment, gushed with excitement and unbridled joy.

The impressive ceremony was attended by the Speaker of the Oyo State House of Assembly, Mr. Debo Ogundoyin, and other key members of the state legislature.

The 200-level student of Science Laboratory Technology of the Ekiti State University, Ado Ekiti, Ekiti State said skepticism was his first reaction to the good news.

“I was in disbelief, I thought it was just someone playing pranks”, he said, adding though that he knew from past events that Globacom is a company that gives huge prizes to its subscribers. He, however, said that the decision on how to use the apartment would be left for his parents to make.

The Globacom Head of Operations in the West Territory, Mr. Akeem Yusuf, noted that the promo is another opportunity for the company to reward its subscribers with amazing prizes in line with its commitment to the continued empowerment of its customers.

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.
