The Emir of Kano, Alhaji Aminu Ado Bayero, has given kudos to the chairman of Globacom, Dr. Mike Adenuga Jr., for his magnanimity to Glo subscribers.
The foremost traditional ruler who was represented by the Dan Amar of Kano, Alhaji Aliu Harazimi, said this at the presentation of a brand new car to Anas Yusuf Adamu, a Kano-based businessman who won it in the company’s Festival of Joy promo yesterday.
Alhaji Ado Bayero commended Globacom and its chairman, for the countless empowerment initiatives that the company had executed since its inception in 2004.
Said he, “It is worthy of note that Globacom has not forgotten to reward its loyal customers in Kano and across Nigeria. This culture of empowerment is commendable and sets a good example for corporate Nigeria”.
In the same vein, the Kano State Commissioner for Finance, Alhaji Adamu Fanda, also took cognizance of the determination of the company to better the lot of its customers which has culminated in giving out so many valuable prizes to them across the country every year.
According to him, “Globacom is setting a good example of what corporate citizenship should be. The company is indeed demonstrating its commitment to its operating environment”. He therefore encouraged the mobile network operator to keep up the good works”,
Representatives of the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), Alh Ibrahim Mahmud, and the National Lottery Regulatory Commission (NLRC), Engr Hanza Goya, also took turns to commend Glo for its openness and compliance to the guidelines of the regulatory agencies in the conduct of the customer reward promo.
The winner, who was full of appreciation to Glo, recalled his initial overwhelming shock when company officials called to inform him that he had won a brand new Kia car in the Festival of Joy promotion.
“I first got a call in the evening from Glo office that I had won a car. I almost did not believe because my phone was switched off all day. When they however told me to come to the Gloworld office on Murtala Mohammed Way in Kano, it dawned on me it is real. I have never owned a car and this gift from Globacom is great empowerment for me and my family”, the excited winner said.
The event was attended by scores of subscribers and their well-wishers, following the emergence of over 60 winners from the draw held the preceding day. They went home with power generators, sewing machines and rechargeable fans.
