Nigeria’s most innovative telecommunications company, has rewarded more subscribers from across the country with a cheque of N 1.5million each in its on-going 9ja Free Credit Promo to bring the year 2011 to a close.
The promo now in its fourth week produced Amodu Daniel, Glory Udensi, Mbaike Ifeoma, Mohammed Sani and Kafayat Dada among the most recent millionaires.
Unable to control her excitement, 18-year-old student, Mbaike Ifeoma, was delighted to be one of the lucky winners. “I am very happy that I won. At first I did not believe that promos like this were real so when I received a call from someone in Etisalat, saying that I had won N1.5million, I just couldn’t believe it”, she said.
Accepting her prize, she expressed appreciation and said she would use part of her winnings to further her education.
Another winner, Kafayat Dada, who resides in Ibadan, did not believe she had won and hesitated in travelling to Lagos to claim her prize.
According to her, ”I thought it was 419 because this is Christmas period and I did not want to be tricked. It was when I went to Etisalat centre in Ibadan that I got full details of my winnings and decided to come today.”
“I am very happy to know that indeed I truly won. Thank you Etisalat. This is the best Christmas gift. I will tell all my family, friends and all those I come across that this promo is real”.
Kafayat, who has been long engaged to her heartthrob, said that with her prize money, she will quickly plan for her wedding.
Speaking at the event, Manager, Mass Market Segment, Etisalat Nigeria, Idowu Adesokan, said the promo was Etisalat’s way of saying ‘thank you’ to its customers especially during this festive season.
“Our focus at Etisalat is to keep our customers happy. The 9ja Free Credit Promo is one of many ways we at Etisalat do so. The 9ja free credit promo has been ongoing with new twists added each month. In the spirit of the season, we decided to add the prize money in addition to the free airtime subscribers have been enjoying,” he said.
Adesokan encouraged registered customers to keep recharging so as to stand a chance of winning a cash reward of N1.5million and free credit up to a maximum of N100,000.
