Globacom has announced fresh plans to give out a total of N125 million in cash prizes to its subscribers in a new promotion called Glo Hamma Millions.
The consumer reward scheme, which will run for the next 100 days, was launched in Lagos this week.
Giving details of the promo at the event, Globacom’s Coordinator, Enterprise Sales, Mr. Folu Aderibigbe said five subscribers would win N5 million each, making a total of N25 million. The N5 million winners will emerge every 20 days.
In addition to the N5 million jackpot prize, there is also N100,000 cash to be won by 1,000 other lucky subscribers. He disclosed that 10 subscribers will each win N100,000 cash every day for 100 days, making a total of 1,000 winners and a total of N100 million.
Aderibigbe said the reward scheme was developed because Globacom appreciated the customers as the focal point of its operations and that a total of 1005 winners will emerge in the promo.
“We are aware of the economic challenges faced by many now, and we are constantly looking for ways to positively impact the lives of our subscribers and help ease the difficult times,” he explained.
“We are committed to changing the lives of our people for good and to rewarding our loyal subscribers across the country. Glo Hamma Millions Promo is therefore designed to achieve this purpose,” he said.
“To win in Glo Hamma Millions Promo, customers are required to text ‘GLO’ to 555 and answer a football trivia question. Within minutes of texting, subscribers will receive a particular question. A fresh question shows up each time the code is sent. After each text, N100 will be deducted from the subscribers’ account,” Aderibigbe explained, adding that draws will be done daily to determine the winners.
He called on prepaid subscribers on the Glo network to seize the opportunity to text as many times as possible to increase their chances of winning the fantastic prizes being offered by Globacom in the promo.
“Globacom has distinguished itself as an operator that spares no resources in appreciating its customers. The company has since inception organized several customer-appreciation schemes with different category of winners emerging from all nooks and crannies of the country,” he added.
The Hamma Millions promotion is in line with Globacom’s tradition of always rewarding its subscribers with mouth-watering prizes in customer appreciation schemes.
Representatives of telecoms regulatory authorities at the event also hailed the promo and described it as a competitive way to empower subscribers.
Lagos Zonal Controller, Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), Mr. Okechukwu Aninweke, who was at the event, commended Globacom on the promotion.
“NCC is always very happy and proud of the networks when they introduce innovative products and services, especially this initiative which is all about rewarding subscribers. We are aware of the network enhancements Globacom has done which has boosted its capacity, but we would like to advise that you should please still watch it, so that it doesn’t degrade the quality of service on the Glo network,” he said.
The Lagos Zonal Office Coordinator, National Lottery Regulatory Commission Mr. Fidelis Ajibogun, lauded Globacom for the initiative.
“We are here to endorse this promo. Transparency is very important to us. We will ensure that everyone who participates in this promo will have equal chance of winning. We will also make sure that once you are declared a winner, you will have your prize,” he said.
