Three mega prize winners who were presented with symbolic cheques got their accounts credited with N5 million each live at the event, while six others likewise received N1 million credit alerts each.
Speaking to newsmen after the event, the regional Trade Marketing manager, South-South Region, David Ademola, said the winners were in three categories; the instant prize, the star prize and the super Star prize.
He explained that the difference between the Star Prize and the Super Star Prize was that in the latter, one of the cards used for the spelling carries an eagle, while the former does not.
He said the promo was to reward some of loyal customers and people who have been with the Dangote Group for years.

“This gesture, we believe will increase the wealth, because when you empower people, like what we have done now, they too will be able to employ two or three people more.For example those who won five million naira, you heard me advising them to please invest this money in a profitable business, of course they should invest in Dangote Cement business so that at least so that you too can expand your business.”

We saw the winners when they came in with their cards and we crossed checked all of them to ensure that the spelling of Dangote is complete.

That was why you saw us going round to observe some of these things here.The Dangote Group has all through the years been doing a lot to empower Nigerians, and we can attest that there is no room for doubt in what they are doing.
