Oil, gas engineer wins first house Glo Festival of Joy promo

An oil and gas engineer, Moses Tsado, has become the first winner of a premium house in Globacom’s on-going Festival of Joy consumer-reward promotion targeted at its high networth customers across the country.

Tsado, who is a director of Antan Producing Limited, had emerged winner from the first draw held in Lagos on Tuesday. He was presented the keys to the house yesterday by Oba Ojomu of Lakowe, Oba Abdulhakkem Olusegun Ojomu, brand influencer, Nnenna Ekere, and Glo officials.

Speaking about his fortune, the 57-year-old father of two Niger State born, said he was very so excited when he got a call from Glo officials but was initially skeptical if it was indeed true, given the spate of scams that abound.

He said: “I got a call from a staff member of Globacom telling me that I won a house in the ongoing promo and I was very excited about it, but my instinct prompted me to cross check so that I will not fall into the hand of scammers. Immediately I called a good friend who works in Globaom and he assured me that all was well. It was after the confirmation that I drove down to meet the officials of the company and the rest is history. To God be the glory.”

Tsado, who has not made up his mind on what use to put the house, commended Globacom for its total commitment to the welfare of Nigerians through numerous promotions in the last 20 years that had helped millions of Nigerians.

Mr. Lawrence Odediran, Globacom’s Retail Chief, Lagos, said the presentation was in fulfillment of the company’s commitment to Nigerians when the promo was unveiled. He added that it was also a confirmation of the company’s resolve to constantly add value to the lives of its subscribers.

He disclosed that the promo is open to all new and existing (prepaid and post-paid) subscribers, adding that they can qualify for the draw by recharging N50,000 or more in a month to stand a chance to win a Business Class ticket or a recharge of N100,000 or more to stand a chance of winning a Premium Bungalow in  Nigeria. “The more you recharge, the more your chances of winning”, he concluded.

The Coordinator, National Lottery Regulatory Commission (NLRC), Lagos Office, Mrs. Priscilla Onuzulu, said at the event that giving back to subscribers has always been in the DNA of Globacom and that this event is not an exception. Said she: "Over the years Glo has kept to its promises and the company is always doing the right things as agreed with NLRC. Kudos to Globacom and congratulations to the winner".

On her part, the representative of the Nigeria Communications Commission (NCC), Mrs Ijeoma Bassey, said the Festival of Joy promo is adding value to the life of Glo subscribers as seen in the presentation of first house prize to the winner. She expressed satisfaction that Globacom has been following the rules and that the regulatory body is satisfied with the promo.

Some of the guests at the presentation of the house included His Royal Highness, Oba Ojomu of Lakowe, Abdulhakeem Olusegun  Ojomu, Iyaloja of  Lakowe Market, Chief ( Mrs) Bolanle Owoseni, Chairman of CDC, Ajah, Hon. Sabita Adeboye and the Nollywood trio of Tope Olowoniyan, Tobi Bakre and Nnenna Ekere.
