A Port Harcourt-based Mechanical Engineer, Ola Owonifari Joseph, has emerged winner of the second house in the ongoing Glo Festival of Joy promo.
The 49-year-old Joseph, on Friday last week, received the keys to his new apartment from the Speaker of Rivers State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Ikuinyi O. Ibani, supported by Globacom officials.
An elated Joseph declared: “It’s a miracle and I still can’t believe it. Glo is our family network; we communicate all the time and even with our family friends on Glo lines. I remember loading credit and data recently when the last subscription expired and after that, I opted in to join the promo. I was not expecting anything soon but yesterday morning I got a call from a Glo officer, who after a series of questions told me that I won a house. I was shocked.”
The Ekiti indigene explained further: “I was just planning on how to develop my plot of land gradually, and lo and behold, Glo showed up and made me a house owner. This prize is for me and my family and we are moving in immediately. God bless the owner, the management, and the staff of Globacom. They will continue to grow from strength to strength. I am overwhelmed with joy.”
Speaker of the Rivers State House of Assembly, Hon. Ikuinyi O. Ibani, lauded Globacom for bringing joy and happiness to Nigerians through the Festival of Joy promo.
He said: “Globacom is giving a home to the homeless and this is one of the best things you can do to help anyone in life,” adding that, “what Globacom has done today deserves commendation and is worthy of emulation, especially by other telecom companies in Nigeria.”
The Regional Manager of Globacom in Port Harcourt, Mr. Augustine Mamuro, noted that the company is glad to see the joy on the faces of lucky winners as they receive amazing prizes across the country.
“From the Garden City of Port Harcourt, the festival of Joy promo train will move to other cities including Lagos, Lokoja, Yola, Calabar, Kano, Enugu, and Makurdi where prizes will be presented to winners in those locations. A total of 20 houses, 24 brand new cars, 100 power generators, 200 sewing machines, and 1,000 rechargeable fans will be given out in the promo,” Mamuro explained.
He urged Glo subscribers to dial the dedicated short code *611# to opt into the promo and keep recharging (voice and data during the promo period) to be eligible to win the prizes on offer.
The event, which had the representative of National Lottery Regulatory Commission (NLRC), Port Harcourt office, Mr. Walson Dambo present, also had in attendance the Chief Whip of Rivers State House of Assembly, Hon Evans Bipi, Deputy Chairman of Okrika Local Government Area, Hon. Obed Tamuno, and Nollywood actors such as Victor Osuagwu and Francis Duru.
