Speaking at Gloworld, Aminu Kano crescent, Abuja after he
was convinced that he actually won a house by a combined team of officials of
the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) and the National Lottery
Regulatory Commission (NLRC) and Globacom officials, the Mathematics graduate
of Ekiti State University immediately tendered an apology.
For Ridwan Ajamu Bello, it was safer to hide from officials
of Globacom who kept calling him to come to the Glo office in Abuja on
Thursday, January 19, after his number popped up as winner of a 3-Bedroom
apartment in the ongoing Festival of Joy promo.
All that was going through his mind was that the calls were
being made to scam him as it felt too good to believe he had become an instant
landlord courtesy of Globacom. So, he opted to stay away from going to the Glo
office where he was asked to go.
After about three hours, he eventually got to the Gloworld,
Aminu Kano Crescent, and spent some time apologizing to everyone for keeping
them waiting.
He said: “Please forgive me. At first it was difficult to believe. You know how these days we have a lot of people claiming to be what they are not, all kinds of scam calls. But when I started getting calls from different people from Glo and then the NCC and NLRC people also speaking and asking me to come to Glo office, I now thought that this could actually be my lucky day. I thank Glo for this opportunity; it’s beyond what I can express”.
On Friday, January 20, Bello was at the location of the
house at Galadimawa area of Abuja, accompanied by friends and family members,
to receive the keys of his house, hence joining scores of other Glo subscribers
who have emerged winners of houses, brand new cars, and other valuable prizes
in the ongoing promotion across various cities such as Lagos, Ijebu Ode,
Ibadan, Benin, Enugu, Port Harcourt, Warri and Jos.
Globacom also received commendation from special guests at
the ceremony, Senator Amos Bulus Kilawangs and former Director General of NLRC,
Mr Peter Igho. Senator Kilawangs extolled Globacom for being so transparent in
conducting the promo, adding that “there are so many companies in Nigeria, but
Glo has shown it is second to none in CSR. What I feel inside of me is beyond
what I can express”.
On his part, Mr Igho noted that “Glo has stood up as a true
Nigerian champion. I commend the company for putting a roof over the heads of
so many Nigerians and for the other fantastic prizes too.”
